CAPE CANAVERAL SPACE FORCE STATION -- SpaceX has adjusted its launch time of a Starlink mission on Monday night in accordance with FAA's new order.
The Falcon 9 rocket will send up Starlink 6-87 mission from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 10:21 p.m. ET, stated SpaceX.
The launch window will open at 10:01 p.m. ET until 1:59 a.m., ET, Tuesday, Nov. 11. That means SpaceX has that time frame to launch the mission.
Originally, the launch was scheduled at 5:12 p.m. ET until 9:12 p.m. ET. However, the FAA announced that starting Monday, Nov. 10, all commercial launches must launch from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., citing safety and efficiency reasons.
Because of the FAA's new order, SpaceX adjusted its launch time for the Starlink 6-87 mission.
The 45th Weather Squadron gave a 60% chance of good liftoff conditions, with the only concerns being liftoff winds.
After the stage separation, the first-stage rocket will land on the droneship Just Read the Instructions that will be in the Atlantic Ocean..
The 29 satellites from the Starlink company, owned by SpaceX, will be heading to low-Earth orbit to join the thousands already there.
Once deployed and in their orbit, they will provide internet service to many parts of Earth.
Dr. Jonathan McDowell, of Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, has been recording Starlink satellites.
