SpaceX was set to launch 60 more Starlink internet satellites on Monday morning, but due to “unfavorable weather”, the mission has been delayed 24 hours.
“Due to unfavorable weather conditions in the recovery area, now targeting Tuesday, January 19 at 8:23 a.m. EST for launch of Starlink,” said SpaceX on Sunday evening.
SpaceX said the Falcon 9 booster for this next Starlink mission had previously supported seven missions.
Tuesday morning’s launch will take place from Kennedy Space Center Launch Complex 39, on Merritt Island in Florida. Falcon 9 will land on SpaceX’s autonomous drone ship, named “Just Read the Instructions” in the Atlantic Ocean.
Starlink internet is currently in beta, available for a limited number of testers in the U.S., Canada and recently the UK.
