Live coverage: SpaceX to launch 7.5-ton SiriusXM satellite as part of constellation refresh
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket is scheduled for launch Sunday carrying a multi-ton, radio-broadcasting satellite for SiriusXM’s to replace two aging satellites in geostationary Earth orbit.
Liftoff from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station is scheduled during a nearly four-hour window that opens at 10:25 p.m. EDT (0225 UTC). The rocket will fly on an easterly trajectory upon leaving the launch pad.
Spaceflight Now will have live coverage beginning about an hour prior to liftoff.
The 45th Weather Squadron forecast an 80 percent chance for favorable weather at the opening of the launch window that improves to 90 percent as time goes on. Meteorologists are watching for interference from cumulus and anvil clouds.
Weekend SpaceX rocket launch in Florida. What time is liftoff?
A late-night rocket launch potentially closes out the last weekend of June. A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch the SiriusXM SXM-11 satellite from Florida, potentially lifting off Sunday night or very early Monday morning.
This launch follows the uncrewed demo mission liftoff of the company's new Starfall spacecraft just after sunrise June 23.
Though rockets here launch from NASA's Kennedy Space Center or Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, people can sometimes see this phenomenon far beyond the launch pad.
Weather permitting and depending on cloud cover and trajectory, a rocket launch from Florida’s Space Coast could be visible as far north as Jacksonville Beach and as far south as West Palm Beach.
