SpaceX set for lunchtime rocket launch Wednesday from Florida's Space Coast
SpaceX crews are preparing to light up the sky on Florida's Space Coast on Wednesday.
The company is set to launch a Falcon 9 rocket in support of its Starlink satellite system.
Crews are planning to launch the rocket at 12:38 p.m. from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
SpaceX said this launch will be the fourth flight for the first-stage rocket booster supporting this mission.
The booster has previously launched the SES O3b mPOWER-E, Crew-10, and Bandwagon-3 missions.
SpaceX plans to land the booster again after launch on one of its ships in the Atlantic Ocean.
If Wednesday's planned launch is delayed, a backup opportunity is available at 11:17 a.m. on Thursday.
Channel 9 will have live coverage of the launch on Eyewitness News.
