SpaceX will make its latest attempt following scrubs due to ground systems issues and then poor weather. Liftoff from Pad A at Starbase is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. CDT (7:30 p.m. EDT / 2330 UTC).

An Ariane 5 rocket sent two Intelsat communications satellites into orbit Wednesday after liftoff from Europe’s space base in French Guiana at 2216 GMT (6:16 p.m. EDT; 7:16 p.m. local time).

Sixty more Starlink internet satellites are ready to rocket into orbit Sunday night from Cape Canaveral on the 100th flight of a SpaceX Falcon 9 launcher, and the seventh flight of SpaceX’s reusable “fleet leader” booster.
