Rocketing start to Independence Day on Space Coast with two launches
The Space Coast enjoyed a rocketing start to Independence Day celebrations with two rocket launches less than 12 hours apart. First up, SpaceX launched a weather satellite for the European Space Agency on July 1, getting the Falcon 9 off the ground right on schedule at 5:04 p.m. July 1 from Kennedy Space Center Pad 39A. The launch came just as storms rolled into Brevard. Headed for geostationary orbit, this is an Earth observation satellite with the aim to observe extreme weather events and air quality over Europe and North Africa. During the early hours of Wednesday, July 2, SpaceX launched a second rocket in a July doubleheader. The Starlink 10-25 mission took off at 2:28 a.m. from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station after an hour delay. Next Launch: Is there a launch today? Upcoming SpaceX, Axiom, ULA rocket launch schedule at Cape Canaveral This mission was special because it marked a new record for SpaceX booster reusability -- the key to how SpaceX keeps costs down. The Falcon 9 booster launching this mission saw its 29th launch and landing. How high SpaceX can go on that number of reuses remains to be seen but the company run by Elon Musk continues to push its fleet of rockets. While SpaceX has yet to confirm, the Space Coast Office of Tourism indicates the next launch will be no earlier than 1:48 a.m. Tuesday, July 8. The launch is slated to be the next batch of SpaceX Starlink internet satellites, referred to as Starlink 10-28. With the payload being in the group 10 batch of satellites, the Falcon 9 rocket will travel on a northeasterly trajectory upon liftoff. Brooke Edwards is a Space Reporter for Florida Today.
