CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – SpaceX announced it is set to launch its Falcon 9 rocket on Saturday night as part of its latest Starlink mission.
According to the company, the mission will send 23 Starlink satellites into orbit from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
Liftoff is scheduled for 11 p.m., though backup opportunities will be available until 11:59 p.m.

The 45th Weather Squadron has forecast a 60% chance of weather interfering with Saturday’s launch.
