SpaceX is hoping to get in two more rocket launches before the year comes to a close − which will bring the record year in Florida to 93 launches.
Federal Aviation Administration warnings show two possible launches in the coming days: Another attempt at the Astranis mission and the SpaceX Starlink 12-6 mission.
First up is the delayed Astranis mission. After weather delayed the launch of four satellites for the company Astranis Space Technologies, the launch attempt on Friday, Dec. 20 saw a rare last second abort . SpaceX further delayed the mission again the next evening, stating that after reviewing data they would be standing down from the launch.
While SpaceX has yet to confirm, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Geospatial Navigational Warnings indicate that the company will make another attempt the first hour of Sunday, Dec. 29. Launch is currently anticipated for midnight, yet the window runs until 3:02 a.m. if needed. Launch will be from Cape Canaveral Space Launch Complex 40, and the rocket will travel on a due east trajectory.
