SpaceX launch overnight: Everything to know about Cape Canaveral's

It appears the last launch of a record-shattering year on Florida’s Space Coast will lift off overnight!

SpaceX is targeting 12 a.m. EST Monday to launch a Falcon 9 rocket on another Starlink mission from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. Backup launch opportunities are available until 3:28 a.m., if needed.

The Falcon 9 will deploy a batch of Starlink internet-beaming satellites. No Central Florida sonic booms are expected. After soaring skyward from pad 39A along a southeasterly trajectory, the rocket’s first-stage booster will target landing aboard a SpaceX drone ship out at sea 8 minutes, 16 seconds after liftoff.

The Space Force’s 45th Weather Squadron forecasts 60% odds of favorable launch weather, with cumulus clouds and anvil clouds posing potential threats.

Check back for live FLORIDA TODAY Space Team launch coverage updates on this page, starting about 90 minutes before the early morning launch window opens. When SpaceX’s live webcast begins about five minutes before liftoff, look for it posted below the countdown clock.
