SpaceX launch Monday morning: Everything to know about Starlink launch from Cape Canaveral
Feb 03, 2025
SpaceX has delayed their rocket launch until Tuesday due to fog. They will now be launching a Starlink mission from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 3:37 a.m. EST. The delay was caused by a dense fog advisory from the National Weather Service in East-Central Florida. The launch doubleheader planned for Monday will not happen.
However, SpaceX is still planning to launch another Falcon 9 rocket from NASA's Kennedy Space Center on Monday evening. This rocket will deploy two satellites and create sonic booms when the booster lands back at Cape Canaveral. The weather looks good for the Monday evening launch, with a 95% chance of good conditions.
