This week’s launch will take place at Space Launch Complex 40, from Cape Canaveral, Florida. The Falcon 9 rocket B1058 will attempt its sixth flight and landing. Its previous mission was back on January 24, when it successfully boosted the Transporter-1 rideshare mission to space.
Last Thursday, SpaceX successfully launched 60 more Starlink satellites into space aboard its reusable Falcon 9 rocket, which landed successfully.
