SpaceX announced on Wednesday it is targeting its next Falcon 9 launch of 60 Starlink Satellites for the end of February.
“Static fire test complete – targeting Sunday, February 28 at 8:37 p.m. EST for launch of Starlink from LC-39A,” said SpaceX earlier today.
The launch is set to take place at Launch Complex 39A from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Falcon 9 rocket will be B1049, which has flown and landed seven previous times. B1049 previously launched 60 Starlink satellites back on November 24, 2020.
The last Starlink launch was on February 15, when its Falcon 9 booster successfully sent a batch of satellites to space, but failed to land on the company’s autonomous drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean.
SpaceX is also planning a Starship SN10 test flight, pegged for Friday, February 26 at 10AM PT/1PM EST.
