Overview

• Liftoff is scheduled for 9:34 p.m. EDT with a late‑evening window from Florida’s Space Coast to deploy 24 Project Kuiper broadband satellites.
• The mission, designated Kuiper Falcon 03, is the third and final Falcon 9 launch Amazon booked under a December 2023 contract with SpaceX.
• Forecasters put the chance of acceptable launch weather at 45 percent, and booster recovery conditions are rated high risk for the droneship zone.
• First‑stage booster B1091 flies for the second time and will attempt an autonomous landing on the droneship Just Read the Instructions.
• A successful flight would raise Kuiper’s on‑orbit total to 153 satellites as Amazon races to meet FCC milestones toward a 3,236‑satellite constellation.
