SpaceX Falcon 9 Starlink 6-39 Launch Details and Viewing Information
On February 25, 2024, SpaceX is set to launch its Falcon 9 Starlink 6-39 mission from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Base. This launch is part of SpaceX’s ambitious Starlink project, which aims to provide global broadband communications and bring internet services to those who are currently without access.
The Falcon 9 rocket, specifically the Block 5 variant, will be the launch vehicle for this mission. The rocket will carry a payload of Starlink satellites, which are part of the constellation of networked satellites that will work together to provide reliable and affordable internet coverage across the globe.
For space enthusiasts and visitors who want to witness this exciting event, there are viewing opportunities available. One option is the Atlantis North Lawn, located to the left when approaching Space Shuttle Atlantis®. Admission to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex includes access to this viewing area. From here, spectators will be able to see the rocket once it clears the tree line, approximately 6.7 miles (10.8 kilometers) from the launch pad. The viewing area opens at 3:30 PM, and launch audio, video, and communicator commentary will be provided.
It’s important to note that the Atlantis North Lawn Viewing Area will remain open until 6:00 PM. However, if the launch has not occurred by that time, the viewing area will close due to the window extending beyond visitor complex operating hours.
For those who are interested in attending this event, admission tickets can be purchased online. This is a unique opportunity to witness a SpaceX launch up close and experience the thrill of space exploration.
