SpaceX is targeting Tuesday, April 23 for a Falcon 9 launch of 23 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Liftoff is targeted for 6:17 p.m. ET, with backup opportunities available until 9:25 p.m. ET. If needed, additional opportunities are also available on Wednesday, April 24 starting at 5:50 p.m. ET.

A live webcast of this mission will begin on X @SpaceX about five minutes prior to liftoff. Watch live.

This is the ninth flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Crew-6, SES O3b mPOWER, USSF-124, and five Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the Just Read the Instructions droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

Beautiful weather out here today.

Made a campsite reservation out at Kennedy Space Center for the May 6 manned launch of the Boeing Starliner atop the Atlas 5 rocket. Yay!
My boobs deserve better than this.

It probably won't launch on schedule. I'll probably be out there for three or four days waiting like I was with that Falcon Heavy launch last year haha. Still worth it. Never seen an Atlas 5 go up.
