() Introduction
() SpaceX Unicorn News from SpaceX
On October 30, 2024, SpaceX is preparing for a significant launch as part of its Starlink 10-13 mission, which aims to deploy 23 additional satellites into orbit. The launch is scheduled for 5:10 p.m. EDT from pad 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. This mission is particularly noteworthy as it represents the second SpaceX launch of the day and utilizes the Falcon 9 rocket's first stage booster, identified as B1078, for a record 14th time. This booster has a notable history, having previously supported missions such as Crew-6 and nine other Starlink missions, highlighting its durability and reusability. The weather conditions for the launch are 75 percent favorable, with potential concerns regarding liftoff winds and cumulus clouds. If successful, the booster is expected to land on the droneship 'A Shortfall of Gravitas' approximately eight minutes after liftoff, marking the 83rd landing for this particular droneship and the 361st overall booster landing for SpaceX. This launch will increase the total number of Starlink satellites launched in 2024 to 1,565, bringing the total number of satellites in orbit to 6,534. This expansion is a critical component of SpaceX's ongoing efforts to develop its satellite internet network, which aims to provide global broadband coverage.
