SpaceX is preparing to launch 21 Starlink V2 mini satellites in the Earth’s orbit from the Cape Canveral Space Force Station on Sunday.
Falcon 9 Rocket Space Launch Complex is targeting a lift from 40, set for EST (0442 UTC) at 11:42 pm.

On Saturday, the 45th Weather Squadron located on the Patrick Space Force Base estimates 75 percent of the appropriate weather conditions in the launch.
“High pressure will gradually weaken and will give way to a developing low in the Gulf, which has slowed down from previous solutions,” the launch weather authorities wrote. “This is mostly good news for the primary day, although the moisture of the middle and upper level is still increasing, so the main violations concern is the thick cloud layers rules, especially in the launch window.”
SpaceX is using a new Falcon 9 First Stage Booster on this mission. The booster is believed to have a tail number B1092. The booster was rolled by the Launch Complex 39A Press Site launched at the Kennedy Space Center on Friday morning after the launch of the Starlink 12–14 mission.
A little more, eight minutes after the lift, the first stage will target a touchdown on the booster droneship ‘Read the bus instructions.’ If successful, it will be the 111th booster landing on JRTI and the 413th booster landing to date.
There are 13 of the 21 Starlink satellites on the board that offer directly to cell capabilities.
