SpaceX’s Starlink Mission Postponed to Monday Night

SpaceX has once again postponed the launch of the Starlink 12/21 mission from Cape Canaveral’s Space Launch Complex 40. The latest target for liftoff is no earlier than 11:21 p.m. on Monday, March 10. This delay follows an earlier postponement of NASA’s SPHEREx mission from Vandenberg, California, as the company investigates recent Falcon 9 rocket issues.

The Starlink 12-21 mission is part of SpaceX’s broader initiative to expand its Starlink satellite constellation, which aims to provide global broadband internet coverage, particularly in remote and underserved regions. 

This particular launch will mark the 21st orbital mission of the year for Florida’s Space Coast and serves as a critical return to flight for Falcon 9 after a recent booster mishap.
