SpaceX plans to launch more Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit Thursday evening from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.

The Starlink 6-74 mission will launch 28 additional Starlink V2 Mini satellites using a Falcon 9 rocket, as is typical.

The scheduled liftoff is set for 9:52 p.m. ET. This will be the 23rd launch using this first stage booster.

Reserve start times are available until 1:28am Friday or later on Friday starting at 9:55pm.

After the rocket's first stage separates, it will land on an unmanned ship in the Atlantic Ocean called the Authority Deficit.

The launch will be streamed live on SpaceX's X page, and the Space Force's 45th Weather Squadron is predicting a greater than 95% chance of good weather for liftoff.
