Launch Date: May 31, 2024 (EDT) Launch Time: 6:43 p.m. EDT, 2243 UTC, (00:43 CEST - June 1) Launch Window: 6:43 p.m. EDT - 10:43 p.m. EDT Launch Status: Scheduled Launch Provider: SpaceX Launcher System: Falcon 9 Block 5 (Unknown - TBD) Flight Number: Unknown - TBD Flown missions for the booster: Unknown - TBD Mission: Starlink Group 6-64 Launch Location: SLC-40 - Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida, USA Landing: Droneship (Unknown - TBD) SpaceX is targeting May 31 for a Falcon 9 launch of 23 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) of the Florida Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Liftoff is targeted at 6:43 p.m. EDT, 2243 UTC (00:43 CEST - June 1) with backup opportunities available until 10:43 p.m. EDT. After stage separation, the Falcon 9 booster will make a landing attempt on an autonomous droneship, which is stationed in the Atlantic Ocean. Space Affairs live stream begins ca. 10 minutes before the planned T-Zero. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on a droneship stationed in the Atlantic Ocean. As always for Starlink launches, expect changes in T-Zero during the open launch window For our astronomer friends who asked us about the inclination (and people in the areas who want to see the launch in person): The Satellites will be delivered to a 530 km circular low-Earth orbit (LEO) at 43°; their initial orbit is 285 x 293 km at º. The flight direction from Cape Canaveral is South-East in the direction of the Bahamas. For more information about inclination, visit (available on the launch day).
