Live coverage: Kennedy Space Center to reopen Friday

A Falcon 9 launcher lifted off from Cape Canaveral Tuesday at 9:13 p.m. EST (0213 GMT Wednesday) with 60 more Starlink broadband satellites.

NASA and SpaceX have set April 22 as the target launch date for the next Crew Dragon flight to the International Space Station. The four-person crew will be the first to ride a previously-flown Falcon 9 booster and a reused Dragon spacecraft, and a NASA official said this week that the launcher and capsule are in “really good shape” as refurbishment wraps up at Cape Canaveral.

With nine engines firing, a Falcon 9 rocket lifted off Wednesday morning from launch pad 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida with 60 Starlink satellites on-board.
