FAA Lifts Launch Curfew as SpaceX Targets Evening Starlink Flight From Florida

Early-evening opportunities return for SpaceX after weeks of late-night constraints.

Overview

  • SpaceX plans to launch Starlink 6-94 at about 7:10–7:12 p.m. EST from Cape Canaveral, carrying 29 satellites to low Earth orbit.
  • Falcon 9 booster B1085 is set for its 12th flight with a landing attempt on the droneship A Shortfall of Gravitas stationed east of the Bahamas.
  • SpaceX schedules satellite separation roughly one hour and five minutes after liftoff.
  • The FAA ended its flight-reduction emergency order at 6 a.m. on Nov. 17, removing a daytime curfew that had pushed recent Florida launches to after 10 p.m.
  • Transporter-15 from Vandenberg is scheduled for Nov. 19 with a 10:18–11:15 a.m. PT window on a southern trajectory that may be difficult to see from Arizona.
