SpaceX targeting Monday afternoon for Falcon 9 rocket launch from NASA's Kennedy Space Center

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket may streak across the Space Coast's skies Monday afternoon, the Federal Aviation Administration reports.

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

The Falcon 9 will lift off from pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, ascend along a southeasterly trajectory, and deploy Starlink broadband satellites into low-Earth orbit.

SpaceX's Starlink 12-7 mission is lined up to become the ninth orbital launch thus far this year from Florida's Space Coast. Space Force officials predict up to 156 launches could occur during 2025 from KSC and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, though the final total will likely fall short of that lofty sum.
