SpaceX Set to Launch Falcon 9 with Starlink Satellites from Cape Canaveral
On Tuesday afternoon, February 13, 2025, SpaceX is poised to launch a Falcon 9 rocket carrying 21 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit. The launch is scheduled to take place at 1:53 p.m. from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, with backup launch windows extending until 3:43 p.m. for any unforeseen delays.
This mission marks a significant milestone as it will be the 18th flight for the Falcon 9’s first stage booster, which has a storied history of successful missions. The booster has previously supported a variety of important launches, including Crew-5, CRS-28, and several other satellite deployments. Notably, it has also completed 10 missions dedicated to the Starlink project, which aims to provide global internet coverage through a constellation of satellites.
