CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - SpaceX is aiming to launch a Falcon 9 rocket carrying 23 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit on Wednesday. Liftoff is scheduled for 5:47 p.m. ET, from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, with backup launch windows available until 9:23 p.m. ET.

SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket early Tuesday with a full OK from the Federal Aviation Administration, its first since a second stage failure on the Crew-8 launch grounded the rocket.
