CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – SpaceX is planning to launch another batch of Starlink satellites Monday from the Space Coast.

The Falcon 9 rocket launch is set for 6:13 p.m. from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

The launch was originally planned for just after 1:30 p.m., but space weather concerns forced SpaceX to push the launch back.

Starlink is a constellation of mini-satellites, creating a network to provide internet to underserved areas.

It will be the second launch attempt for SpaceX Monday. The commercial space company attempted to send astronauts to the International Space Station early Monday morning, but the Crew-6 mission had to be scrubbed for technical issues involving the engine ignition system.

SpaceX and NASA will next try to launch the Crew-6 mission on Thursday at 12:34 a.m.
