KENNEDY SPACE CENTER – Skip the Saturday morning cartoons and start your weekend off with a SpaceX launch instead.
The company plans to launch the sixth round of space-based internet satellites from Kennedy Space Center Saturday morning. It’s all part of CEO Elon Musk’s plan to begin beaming the internet to people around the globe later this year using a constellation of hundreds of satellites.
Weather is looking good for a Saturday morning launch, according to Air Force weather officials. Liftoff is scheduled for 9:42 a.m. from Kennedy Space Center launchpad 39A.
Forecasters with the U.S. Air Force 45th Weather Squadron are predicting a 90% chance of good launch conditions for the Falcon 9 liftoff. If the launch delays to Sunday, chances remain the same.
