It's a bumper start to the week for space fans, as SpaceX is set to launch the Koreasat-6A mission into orbit from Florida's Kennedy Space Center on Monday in addition to 24 more Starlink satellites from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station later in the day.
The four-hour window for the Koreasat-6A launch opens at 12:07 p.m. ET. SpaceX is scheduled to launch the 24 Starlink satellites within a window beginning at 4:02 ET and ending at 7:44 p.m.
The Starlink launch was originally scheduled for Sunday, but this was pushed back because of "unfavorable recovery weather conditions," according to a post from SpaceX on X (formerly Twitter).
A Falcon 9 rocket will carry the 24 Starlink satellites spaceward from Cape Canaveral. Eight minutes after launch, the first stage booster of the rocket should, if all goes to plan, land on the SpaceX autonomous drone ship, A Shortfall of Gravitas, in the Atlantic.
