KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. – SpaceX has scrubbed plans for an overnight Saturday rocket launch, moving the mission to Saturday night instead.
The launch will send 21 Starlink satellites — 13 of which have direct-to-cell capabilities — into orbit from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center aboard a Falcon 9 rocket.

The launch was pushed back to 1:11 a.m. Saturday but was scrubbed just as fueling of the rocket was due to begin. While a line of storms and showers was moving over the area, SpaceX did not confirm why the launch was scrubbed.
The liftoff was originally set for Thursday night. The next launch opportunity starts at 8:48 p.m. ET. Weather chances improve to a 90% chance of go, according to the launch forecast posted by the 45th Weather Squadron
This is set to be the 10th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which was previously used to launch Crew-8, Polaris Dawn, CRS-31, Astranis: From One to Many, IM-2, and four other Starlink missions.
News 6 will stream the launch live at the top of this story when it happens.
