SpaceX is preparing to launch a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida on Monday afternoon that will carry internet-beaming Starlink satellites into orbit.

SpaceX launched another batch of its Starlink internet satellites from California's central coast today (Jan. 24). A Falcon 9 rocket carrying 23 Starlink craft lifted off from Vandenberg Space Force Base today, at 9:07 a.m. EST (1407 GMT; 6:07 a.m. local time).

SpaceX is targeting Monday, January 27 for a Falcon 9 launch of 21 Starlink satellites, including 13 with Direct to Cell capabilities, to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

SpaceX is targeting a 4½-hour launch window for another Starlink mission from 2:21 p.m. to 6:52 p.m., an FAA operations plan advisory shows.

SpaceX, the aerospace powerhouse led by Elon Musk, continues to push the boundaries of innovation with its cutting-edge space missions. The latest Starlink launches in January 2025 showcase not only the company’s technological advancements but also its commitment to revolutionizing space travel and internet connectivity.

Firefly's "Blue Moon" and ispace's "Resilience" are the latest in an ongoing push to gain private-sector experience exploring the moon.

SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket carrying 21 Starlink satellites to low Earth-orbit from Florida on Monday. Decades of data reveal a monumental separation. The comments come amid increased attention on a global AI race between the U.S. and China.

Backup launch opportunities are available until 6:21 p.m., if needed. The Falcon 9 will deploy a batch of Starlink internet satellites, which are packed inside the fairing atop the 230-foot rocket.

Southern California residents who were looking up at the skies early Friday were treated to a dazzling display as SpaceX launched 23 satellites into orbit aboard a Falcon 9 rocket.

SpaceX is planning for another Falcon 9 rocket launch this week at Vandenberg Space Force Base. The launch is currently scheduled for 6:07 a.m. on Friday, Jan. 23. Following stage separation, about eight minutes after liftoff, SpaceX will aim to land the rocket's first stage booster on a droneship in the Pacific Ocean.
