A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket is scheduled to launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on Tuesday, Feb. 24, carrying 29 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit. The launch window is between 3:56 p.m. and 7:56 p.m. ET. Depending on weather and trajectory, the rocket may be visible as far south as West Palm Beach and as far north as Jacksonville Beach. The Falcon 9 will lift off from the Space Coast, which includes Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. SpaceX has not confirmed if the launch will occur during daylight or nighttime hours, but past missions with similar trajectories have been visible to observers in southern Florida. The southeast trajectory increases the likelihood of visibility in Palm Beach County, though cloud cover could affect viewing opportunities. If the launch occurs in the early evening or late night, the rocket’s contrail may be visible against the dark sky, offering potential photo opportunities. For those unable to attend in person, the USA TODAY Network’s Space Team will provide virtual coverage. Details about the mission, including real-time updates, can be found on floridatoday.com/space. The Starlink satellites are part of SpaceX’s effort to expand global broadband internet. The company has launched multiple Starlink missions from Florida in recent years, with varying degrees of public visibility. Local residents and visitors are encouraged to check weather forecasts and plan accordingly if they hope to witness the launch.
