According to an early report by Spaceflightnow, the network of internet satellites will be released from Kennedy Space Center before the weekend.
The 45th Weather Squadron of the US Space Force said there's a 90% chance that the weather will be favorable by the time the liftoff starts.
As per their weather forecast, there will be a lot of clear skies on the launch date. The temperature is expected to be mild, as well.
SpaceX aims to succeed in the first-time launch of OneWeb internet satellites into space. If it successfully passes the test, the next potential landing might occur at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
As part of the OneWeb 1 mission, SpaceX notes that this would be the fourth launch under this booster. The same module was used for the ISS delivery of SpaceX Dragon cargo last year.
According to Space.com, another batch of Starlink internet satellites made use of the booster and the Hotbird 13F spacecraft that took off two months ago.
The Falcon 9 rocket will deliver the OneWeb satellites into space. The spacecraft deployment will start at the post-launch (58 minutes). It is expected to end 30 minutes after the process.
