SpaceX teams at Cape Canaveral are readying for the company’s 10th Falcon 9 rocket launch of the year Wednesday, another flight devoted to delivering satellites to orbit for the Starlink internet network.

Six days after SpaceX fired its last Falcon 9 rocket from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, another launcher rolled to historic pad 39A and ignited its nine Merlin 1D engines at sunset Thursday in preparation for a commercial satellite delivery mission Sunday for Intelsat.

SpaceX successfully launched its Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station Sunday evening, following a Saturday night scrub. Liftoff of the Starlink 6-37 mission occurred at 8:52 p.m. EST (0152 UTC) on Sunday, Jan. 14.
