Rocket launch schedule: Upcoming Florida launches and landings
According to a OneWeb release, the mission marked OneWeb’s 16th overall launch and keeps "the company on track to deliver global coverage in 2023." According to a post made on the company's Twitter account, OneWeb has three more missions planned for the early months of the year.
If all proceeds as planned, Monday's launch and landing are just the first of the week from Florida for SpaceX.
The next launch from Florida's Space Coast is slated to be a three-core Falcon Heavy set to liftoff from Pad 39-A at nearby Kennedy Space Center. Although a launch date and time have not yet been released, that mission is targeted for liftoff on or around Thursday, January 12. It will loft the Space Force's USSF-67 mission, which includes classified defense payloads.
The Space Coast should prepare for dual sonic booms with two near-simultaneous Falcon 9 first-stage booster landings at the Cape's Landing Zones 1 and 2 for that mission. SpaceX has not yet confirmed whether or not an attempt will be made to also attempt a recovery of the core booster on a drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean.
