Missed Falcon 9’s Launch Last Month? Catch SpaceX’s 10th Batch of Starlink Satellites

In May 2020, SpaceX has successfully launched its first-ever human-crewed rocket, ushering a new human spaceflight age in the United States. It marked the first time astronauts have launched into orbit after nearly a decade.

But SpaceX's ambition does not stop there. They are currently working on a monster rocket called the Starship, which would hopefully one day take humans to deep space destinations, including the Moon and Mars.

There are plenty of hurdles between Musk's vision and reality, but the success of last month's launch is a step in the right direction for a company that aims to take people deeper into the cosmos.

But before that, SpaceX is yet to launch its 10^th batch of Starlink satellites on a Falcon 9 rocket on Friday 4:18 pm from Kennedy Space Center, Florida. The company plans to launch dozens of satellites every other week to create a space-based global internet connection that can provide internet even to remote areas.

SpaceX Set to Launch 10th Batch of Starlink Satellites

On this launch, SpaceX plans to launch dozens of Starlink satellites and also a ride-sharing mission for Earth-observation company, BlackSky, which purchased rides on the Falcon 9 for two of its satellites.

The United States Air Force 45 Weather Squadron said that there is a 40% chance of good weather on Friday afternoon for the satellite's liftoff from Kennedy Space Center launch pad 39A. Spaceflightnow.com reports that SpaceX conducted a static fire of the Falcon 9 engines two days before its scheduled launch.

The launch window will only be open for 10 minutes at 4:18 pm. After the launch, Falcon 9 booster will land on a drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean.

SpaceX just recently created a new website that users can register to learn information about when will Starlink's internet service be available.

"Starlink is targeting service in the Northern U.S. and Canada in 2020, rapidly expanding to near-global coverage of the populated world by 2021," the SpaceX website wrote.

Watching ANOTHER SpaceX Rocket Launch Over Edinburgh

Wales Online reported that another rocket launch in America on June 26 could be visible in the United Kingdom.

It will be sitting on top of Falcon 9 rocket, which will lift off from the same complex which sent two astronauts into space. The launch will be at 9:39 pm UK time, and many Brits hope to see another spectacular launch this evening.

According to MeteorWatch, the final stage of the rocket and its cargo should be visible to the naked eye 15 minutes later of its take-off as it passes over the UK from West to East.

Furthermore, the weather seems to be cooperating as it provided the perfect viewing conditions for catching a glimpse of a rocket as it launches into space.

Sky-watchers and space enthusiasts from Edinburgh, Scotland, will get yet another chance to see a SpaceX rocket tonight when it is visible to see in the UK sky.

Edinburgh Live recommends looking for what will appear as a fast-moving bright dot in the skies overhead. One lucky woman was able to capture last month's spectacle- SpaceX NASA rocket.

They also recommend giving a little bit of leeway either side of the viewing times, as it may vary depending on the day.

Over the next few nights, people are also likely to be able to see that train of the 60 Starlink satellites launched from the spacecraft. SpaceX aims to have thousands in the sky to provide global satellite internet access.
