Florida Today reports that SpaceX’s next Falcon 9 mission, “set to fly the latest batch of Starlink internet satellites, will help kick off the weekend when it launches from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Friday.” There will be a bit more than three hours for the launch window, which opens at 11:33 am EST. There will be two more opportunities in the afternoon, but weather conditions are predicted to be nearly perfect, and there is a 95% chance of a “go” mission in the window, says the company. This mission will be the 76th Starlink constellation launch.
