SpaceX on Wednesday night launched a Spanish communications satellite from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida and retired the first-stage booster rather than landing on a drone.

The company hopes to launch a Falcon 9 rocket from the Kennedy Space Center. The rocket will carry and send the SpainSat NG I, a Spanish telecommunications satellite, into orbit. If needed, SpaceX has arranged for a backup launch window for Thursday night.

After a week of nasty weather across Florida, the business of launching rockets got back on track Monday afternoon.

Who's up for a late-night launch? Weather permitting, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket should be visible from the Treasure and Space Coasts after liftoff.

SpaceX launched another batch of its Starlink internet satellites from Florida's Space Coast today (Jan. 27). A Falcon 9 rocket carrying 21 Starlink spacecraft, including 13 with direct-to-cellphone capability, lifted off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station today at 5:05 p.m. EST (2205 GMT).

The second Florida launch of 2025 is set to light up the sky on Monday. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) lists the mission as Starlink 6-71. As of Sunday, SpaceX confirm ed they are targeting a three-hour window which opens at 12:21 p.m.. The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will lift off from Cape Canaveral Space Launch Complex 40.

SpaceX successfully sent 21 more Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit with a launch from Central Florida's Space Coast Monday.

The next SpaceX launch from Florida will occur between Wednesday night and Thursday morning, and it's not a Starlink. Here's what to know.
