1. Falcon Heavy Launch (8:07 p.m.): SpaceX’s first planned launch will feature the mighty Falcon Heavy rocket, scheduled for liftoff at 8:07 p.m. The launch will take place from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. The primary payload for this mission is the X-37B military space plane, destined for the U.S. Space Force. This launch will mark the fifth time that the Falcon Heavy’s side boosters are used, having previously launched missions like USSF-44, USSF-67, Hughes JUPTER 3, and NASA’s Psyche mission. Following liftoff, SpaceX intends to bring the two side boosters back to Earth, landing them at their designated site in Florida.

2. Falcon 9 Launch (11 p.m.): The second planned launch involves a Falcon 9 rocket set to take off at 11 p.m. This launch will occur from Space Launch Complex 40 at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The Falcon 9 rocket’s mission is to deploy another batch of Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit. Post-launch, SpaceX’s plan includes landing the rocket’s first stage booster on its drone ship named “A Shortfall of Gravitas,” positioned in the Atlantic Ocean. Remarkably, this launch will mark the 12th flight for the booster, having previously been used for missions such as CRS-24, Eutelsat HOTBIRD 13F, OneWeb 1, SES-18 and SES-19, and seven Starlink missions.These dual launches highlight SpaceX’s commitment to advancing space exploration and satellite deployment while showcasing their reusability efforts by recovering rocket components for future missions.Originally published at https://original.newsbreak.com.
