SpaceX is preparing for a significant Falcon 9 rocket launch from Florida, scheduled for June 3

SpaceX is gearing up for an exciting Falcon 9 mission to send 23 Starlink satellites, 13 of which boast Direct to Cell technology, into low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida.

The launch is slated for Tuesday, June 3, 2025, aiming for a liftoff at 12:42 a.m. ET (10:12 a.m. IST). If conditions aren’t ideal, SpaceX has backup slots available until 4:29 a.m. ET (2:29 p.m. IST) on June 3, with further opportunities on Wednesday, June 4, starting at 12:02 a.m. ET (9:32 a.m. IST).

You can catch the action live through a webcast starting about five minutes before launch, streamed on SpaceX’s website, the @SpaceX account on X, or the new X TV app.

This mission marks the 21st flight for the Falcon 9’s first stage booster, a veteran that’s powered missions like Crew-5, GPS III Space Vehicle 06, Inmarsat I6-F2, CRS-28, Intelsat G-37, NG-20, TD7, and 13 other Starlink launches.

Post-separation, the booster is set to touch down on the Just Read the Instructions droneship in the Atlantic Ocean, showcasing SpaceX’s reusable rocket prowess.
