New Falcon 9 Booster to make the second attempted beginnings on the Starlink Delivery Mission – SpaceFlight Now
SpaceX will try again Tuesday to launch a brand new Booster Falcon 9 after an avort stopped its first attempt. Pad 40 takeoff in Cape Canaveral, with 23 Starlink satellites on board, is scheduled for 11:19 p.m. EDT (03:19 UTC).
The new Booster, with the B1095 serial number, was lowered Tuesday in the horizontal position so that the engineers could work on the question which caused the count of the count at T less two minutes and 28 seconds on Monday. After the launch scrub, SpaceX recognized in an article on social networks that a “automatic abortion” had occurred but did not reveal why. He said: “The vehicle and the payload are healthy, and the teams reset an attempt to launch at the earliest on Tuesday, May 20.”

The rocket was back in a vertical position at Space Launch Complex 40 Tuesday afternoon. American space force meteorologists provide a 95% favorable time at the short launch window on Tuesday. The only meteorological concern is the slight chance of a violation of the cumulus cloud rule. In addition to the primary launch opportunity at 23:19:10 PM EDT (0319: 10 UTC), there is an opportunity to safeguard 20 seconds later.
The planned launch of B1095 will be the fourth time that a new booster will be put into service by SpaceX this year. The company has 18 other boosters in active service, although B1072 is only stolen once as a falsification of Falcon Heavy Side during the launch of June 2024 of the Satellite in Gos-U weather.
A little more than eight minutes after takeoff, B1095 will target an landing on the Doneship Spacex, “just read the instructions”. A successful landing will represent the 121st hit on this ship and the 449th Booster Landing to date.
Inside the fair load of the rocket is a batch of 23 Starlink satellites, 13 of which are equipped for direct communications to mobile phones. The deployment should occur about an hour and five minutes after the flight.
