CAPE CANAVERAL SPACE FORCE The weather is looking pretty good for the late Thursday night SpaceX launch of over 20 satellites.

The companys Falcon 9 rocket is expected to leave Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 11:31 p.m. ET, stated SpaceX.

However, the California-based company has seven backup launch attempts from 12:05 a.m. ET until 2:59 a.m. ET, on Wednesday Nov. 8.

The 45th Weather Squadron is giving a less than 96% chance of good liftoff conditions, with the only worry being the cumulus cloud rule.

If, however, the launch is scrubbed or needs to be pushed back, the next attempt is Wednesday, Nov. 8, with eight backup attempts starting at 11:17 p.m. ET until 2:59 a.m. ET on Thursday, Nov. 9.

Going Up

The Falcon 9s first-stage booster for the Starlink 6-27 mission, affectionally named B1073, has 10 successful launches, not counting this one.

After the stage separation, the first-stage booster will land on the droneship Just Read the Instructions that will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

About the mission
