SpaceX targeting late-night Starlink Falcon 9 launch Tuesday from Cape Canaveral

SpaceX is targeting a night-owl launch window from 11 p.m. Tuesday to 3:31 a.m. EDT Wednesday for its next Starlink launch from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, navigational advisories indicate.

National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and Federal Aviation Administration advisories show the Falcon 9 rocket launch window, though SpaceX has not yet publicly confirmed this pending launch attempt.

The Starlink 6-27 mission is slated to be soon followed by NASA'S SpaceX commercial resupply mission from the Cape to the International Space Station. Latest target launch time for this CRS-29 liftoff: 8:28 p.m. EDT Thursday.

The Space Force's 45th Weather Squadron has yet to issue a detailed forecast for the launch, which would be the 61st orbital launch thus far in 2023 from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and Kennedy Space Center.
