Amazon is preparing to launch its second batch of Project Kuiper internet satellites to orbit as it seeks to build out a constellation to take on SpaceX’s Starlink service.
Florida's 50th launch of 2025 had been planned to be a human spaceflight, but instead it ended up being another batch of Starlink satellites.
SpaceX states that its Falcon 9 rocket will send up Starlink 12-26 mission from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 11:21 a.m. ET. The launch window will open from 11:21 a.m. ET until 11:44 a.m. ET, meaning SpaceX has during that timeframe to launch its rocket.
The launch, using a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket to deliver the Starlink satellites, will take place from Launch Complex 4E from Vandenberg Space Force Base in Santa Barbara County, California.
