CAPE CANAVERAL SPACE FORCE STATION, Fla. – Another batch of Starlink satellites could be sent into orbit Wednesday in a SpaceX rocket launch from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

SpaceX is targeting 4:01 p.m. Wednesday for a Falcon 9 rocket launch from Space Launch Complex 40. The rocket will carry 56 of the satellites into low-Earth orbit as part of SpaceX’s internet constellation.

Should the rocket go up, the first stage will then land on a droneship in the Atlantic Ocean.

Forecasters predict the weather is 60% “go” for launch.
