SpaceX will try again Wednesday to get off a Starlink launch from Cape Canaveral after scrubbing the launch on Monday.

SpaceX currently operates close to 6,500 Starlink satellites in orbit and has plans to loft thousands more. The satellites have been used to provide vital communications to hard-hit areas following natural disasters such as Hurricane Helene or in the wake of conflicts such as Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

A launch of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket was scrubbed on Sunday due to a helium leak. The SpaceX Starlink 6-77 mission, meant to deliver 23 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit, was scheduled to launch from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on November 3 at 4:57 p.

SpaceX scrubbed its Starlink satellite mission from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Sunday evening. The Falcon 9 rocket was scheduled to launch at 4:57 p.m., with backup windows available until 8:27 p.

Wednesday evening under clear skies over Cape Canaveral Launch Complex 40, SpaceX launched its latest batch of Starlink internet satellites right on schedule. The 5:10 p.m. EDT Falcon 9 launch was remarkably quiet, depending on where you were in Brevard County, as the rocket sailed up on a northeast trajectory.
