SpaceX has raised a Falcon 9 rocket vertical on pad 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in preparation for a test-firing later today.

The 229-foot (70-meter) rocket is set for launch Tuesday at 11:59am EST (1659 GMT) with Starlink Internet satellites. https://spaceflightnow.com/2020/01/20/falcon-9-starlink-3-mission-status-center/ ...

The first sign of venting vapors have appeared at Cape Canaveral's Complex 40 launch pad, signaling SpaceX is beginning fueling preparations for a hotfire test of a Falcon 9 rocket. LIVE UPDATES: https://spaceflightnow.com/2020/01/20/falcon-9-starlink-3-mission-status-center/ ...

The first stage of the Falcon 9 rocket to be test-fired today -- and launched tomorrow -- is designated B1051 in SpaceX's fleet of boosters.

This will be the third flight of the B1051 vehicle, following a launch from pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center on March 2, 2019, with SpaceX's first Crew Dragon spaceship on an unpiloted test flight to the International Space Station.

The booster was recovered on SpaceX's drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean and reused June 12, 2019, on the launch of Canada's Radarsat Constellation Mission from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.

After another landing on a SpaceX recovery ship, the booster is set for this third trip to the edge of space and back Tuesday. SpaceX's drones ship "Of Course I Still Love You" is on the way to a position roughly 400 miles (630 kilometers) northeast of Cape Canaveral for landing of the first stage again Tuesday.

No more venting has appeared at pad 40 after some vapors were observed streaming away from the rocket and its strongback a short time ago.

A stream of vapors at Cape Canaveral's Complex 40 launch pad suggests SpaceX is counting down to a test-firing of a Falcon 9 rocket at 2pm EST (1900 GMT) in advance of a launch the company's next set of Starlink broadband satellites. https://spaceflightnow.com/2020/01/20/falcon-9-starlink-3-mission-status-center/ ...

The strongback umbilical tower at Complex 40 is retracting into position for engine start, suggesting the hold-down firing of the Falcon 9 rocket's nine first stage Merlin engines remains on track for 2 p.m. EST (1900 GMT).

This firing will last several seconds as the rocket ramps up to 1.7 million pounds of thrust, while hold-down restraints keep the Falcon 9 on the ground.

A plume of rocket exhaust over the launch pad suggests the Falcon 9 rocket's Merlin engines ignited at 2 p.m. EST (1900 GMT). We'll stand by for confirmation from SpaceX of a successful test.

Static fire of Falcon 9 complete ahead of launching 60 Starlink satellites. Due to extreme weather in the recovery area, team is evaluating best launch opportunity

Static Fire! The customary engine check SpaceX conducts ahead of each launch is now complete for Starlink L3 ahead of tomorrow's planned 11:59 am EST liftoff. Now we wait for the tweet from @SpaceX confirming good data. #SpaceX #Starlink

Poor weather in the recovery area means that the Starlink L3 launch date (NET Tue 11:59 EST) is under review. Here's a fleet update:  OCISLY is loitering close to the coastline and is yet to approach the LZ. The fairing catchers have elected to seek shelter in Morehead City.

With Atlas rolling out for Solar Orbiter wet dress rehearsal priority shifts to LC41 for Range support. Downrange weather has delayed #Starlink3 which may now have to wait until Mighty Atlas rolls back upon test completion later in the week.

SpaceX is expected to attempt launch of its next Falcon 9 rocket flight no earlier than Friday at 10:54 a.m. EST (1554 GMT) from Cape Canaveral.

A weather forecast issued by the US Space Force's 45th Space Wing this morning suggests an 80 percent chance of favorable weather conditions Friday for launch. But upper level winds are forecast to be strong, and could be out of limits for liftoff.

Falcon 9 rocket will carry 60 broadband satellites into orbit for SpaceX's Starlink network.

The Falcon 9 remains vertical at pad 40 today after a test-firing of its nine Merlin main engines yesterday.



After a period of brisk winds this week at Cape Canaveral associated with a developing gale northeast of the Bahamas, weather conditions are expected to improve Thursday and Friday.

"Winds will become southeasterly ahead of the next frontal system that will move into the Florida Panhandle on Friday," the weather team wrote in today's forecast. "On-shore moving cumulus clouds and the potential for brief coastal showers will be the main concern during the launch window on Friday. Maximum upper-level winds will be from the southwest at 110 knots near 39,000 feet."

If the launch is delayed to Saturday, more clouds and possible rain showers are expected over Cape Canaveral, and there's a 40 percent chance of weather conditions violating launch criteria.

#SpaceX is now targeting Friday, 24 January at 10:54 EST (15:54 UTC) for the launch of the next round of #Starlink satellites. Weather is 80% GO. That DOES NOT include Upper Level Winds which look very harsh. Back up is worse for launch weather but better for Upper Level Winds.
