SpaceX is aimed at Thursday Starlink Start of Florida Space Force Base

After a few photogenic starts of Floridas Space Coast, SpaceX is now targeting the next rocket elevator from Falcon 9 from the Cape Canaveral Space Force station on Thursday, April 24th.

The 4½-hour start window extends from Thursday at 9:32 p.m. to Friday at 2:03 p.m. SpaceX has not yet publicly announced this Starlink 6-74 mission.

The rocket is withdrawn from the start complex 40 and another payload of Starlink-Breitsband satellites is increased to the orbit with low earth. The Falcon 9-Booster of the first stage is aimed at landing on a SpaceX drone ship off the coast of hundreds of kilometers from the Cape, so that no sound booms in central florida should occur.

The forecast for the National Weather Service on Thursday evening requires a partially cloudy sky, a low point of around 68 and a mild East wind of about 10 miles per hour at the Space Force installation.

The Starlink mission is scheduled to start three days after the Twin statements of April 21 by Floridas Space Coast. First, a Falcon lasted 9 hours before the dawn with a SpaceX Dragon spaceship with almost 6,700 pound freight was packed to the international space station. This rocket started from the Kennedy Space Center of NASA.

Then, 16½ hours later, a second Falcon 9 from the Cape Canaveral Space Force station was lifted on the Bandwagon-3 mission, a ride-on matters for small satellites of a variety of private companies.

“Two successful starts in one day? Only another Florida thing,” said Space Florida civil servants in a tweet.

“Congratulations to @SpaceX for a row matched in succession this Monday. Only in the Sunshine State do we send missiles several times a week in the space champions even several times a day!” The tweet said.

SpaceX sent three rockets on April 20 on April 20 from the Vandenberg Space Force Base within a period of about 36 hours.
