CAPE CANAVERAL SPACE FORCE STATION — SpaceX successfully launched 23 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Thursday night. The targeted liftoff time for a Falcon 9 rocket on Starlink 6-55 mission was 10:37 p.m. ET, with backup opportunities available until 1:17 a.m. ET on Friday, May 3, according to SpaceX. The 45th Weather Squadron gave an 85% chance of good liftoff conditions, with the only concerns being the cumulus cloud and attached anvil cloud rules. This is the 19th flight for the first-stage booster supporting this mission, B1067. The previous 18 successful missions on its resume are: CRS-22, Crew-3, Turksat 5B, Crew-4, CRS-25, Eutelsat HOTBIRD 13G, SES 03b mPOWER, PSN SATRIA, Telkomsat Merah Putih 2, and nine Starlink missions. The 23 telecommunications satellites from the SpaceX-company Starlink will be heading to low-Earth orbit to join the thousands already there. Dr. Jonathan McDowell, of Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, has been recording Starlink satellites. Before this launch, McDowell documented the following:What You Need To Know
