Oct. 29 (UPI) — SpaceX is set to launch Wednesday more than two dozen Starlink satellites in Elon Musk’s bid to expand global Internet access.
About 29 additional Starlink satellites devices will liftoff around 12:16 p.m. EDT on SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket into low-Earth orbit via Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on Space Launch Complex 40.
A live-streamed broadcast of Starlink 10-37 mission will begin minutes prior to the scheduled launch.
It will be the 15th flight for the Falcon 9 stage booster transporting the company’s scores of Starlink V2 Mini Optimized satellites.
Satellites are expected to be deployed roughly an hour into the SpaceX mission.
Meanwhile, the first stage booster will land following separation on Just Read the Instructions — a droneship which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
It will follow Sunday’s liftoff by SpaceX which sent 28 Starlink devices into low orbit above Earth.
