Yes, I’m lazy. Yes, I’m gonna keep editing this post for as long as I can keep reusing the same two basic paragraphs. 😉
The last Starlink launch went up as planned (yay!) but now we’re hearing that Wednesday, January 27th, is another SpaceX Starlink launching from LC-39A. Hazard maps have safety zones active from 7:33 am to 8:54 am, so… somewhere in that range? Still waiting on more definite info, but for this launch, the best viewing location is still Playalinda Beach, due to its proximity to the pad. Get there early, bring water and bug spray and probably warm clothes; it’s been Florida-chilly lately.
SpaceX Transporter 1 launched like a bazillion cubesats from SLC-40 this morning, and now we’re waiting for JRTI to come back to port with the 8x flown booster – amusingly, it was held up by the hazard zones for the Transporter launch. Sources say it’ll be this afternoon or evening.
As always, keep an eye on social media in case of launch delays, and to get info on returning drone ships after the launch. Cheers!
