SpaceX returns to its launch pad at Kennedy Space Center on Monday for its twelfth launch of operational Starlink satellites. The mission is scheduled to lift off from Launch Complex-39A at 10:22am ET (14:22 UTC). Weather conditions are 70-percent favorable for liftoff.
The Starlink-12 mission will fly atop a Falcon 9 rocket first stage that previously launched the company's first crewed Dragon mission in May, and subsequently the Anasis-II mission in July. SpaceX will attempt to recover the booster on its Of Course I Still Love You drone ship.
The mission, the company's 11th Starlink launch in this calendar year, brings SpaceX closer to offering a public beta of its service.
