Those include planned launches of the TD7 mission at Florida’s Launch Complex 39A and a Falcon 9 launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on Sunday.

On Monday, the space agency will attempt a Falcon 9 launch of the NSIL GSAT-N2 mission at Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

And on Tuesday, SpaceX will try for its sixth test flight of Starship from the Starbase facility near Boca Chica Beach in South Texas.

SpaceX said the launch will be the 16th flight for the Falcon 9 first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Crew-5, GPS III Space Vehicle 06, Inmarsat I6-F2, CRS-28, NG-20, and nine Starlink missions. After stage separation, the first stage will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
