Two Upcoming SpaceX Launches From Florida: What to Know Before the Falcon 9 Doubleheader

SpaceX is launching a pair of Falcon 9 rockets from Florida within days. Here's what you need to know about the upcoming missions.

The first launch is scheduled for June 30 at 12:02 p.m. EDT and will carry 53 of SpaceX's Starlink internet satellites into orbit.

These satellites will join the Starlink constellation, which is already providing high-speed internet access to remote areas around the world.

The second launch is scheduled for July 1 at 4:10 p.m. EDT and will carry a GPS III satellite into orbit for the U.S. Space Force.

This satellite will help to improve the accuracy and reliability of GPS navigation for both military and civilian users.

Both launches will take place from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

The Falcon 9 rockets will land back on Earth at sea after each launch.

The launches will be visible from Florida's Space Coast, weather permitting.

You can also watch the launches live on SpaceX's website or YouTube channel.

The Starlink mission is part of SpaceX's ongoing effort to provide high-speed internet access to underserved areas.

The GPS III mission is part of the U.S. Space Force's effort to upgrade the GPS constellation.

These two launches are part of SpaceX's busy schedule for 2023, which includes numerous Starlink missions and several other high-profile launches.
