Up for a rocket launch this MLK weekend? Weather permitting, a SpaceX rocket should be visible from the Treasure and Space Coasts after liftoff.

SpaceX's next rocket launch from Vandenberg in Southern California will be to deploy small satellites as part of a rideshare mission.

Depending on the timing, NASA could launch a fresh crew to the space station while four other astronauts are flying around the moon.

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

The Space Coast’s first launch of the year came after midnight Sunday, the first of what could be four launches in the next 10 days, all from SpaceX.

Portal’s Starburst-1 is the company’s first on-orbit demonstration mission. It will aim to validate the company’s long-endurance satellite architecture. Starburst-1 will operate in a sun-synchronous orbit for roughly a year, demonstrating rendezvous maneuverability and fast orbital changes.

After liftoff, the Falcon 9 will deploy 29 Starlink satellites. The booster should land on the drone ship A Shortfall of Gravitas in the Atlantic Ocean.

SpaceX is set to launch its third mission of the year from the Space Coast on Monday afternoon while preparing for the early return later this week of Crew-11 from the International Space Station.
