SpaceX aims to fly a telecom satellite into orbit from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station during a launch window that opens after midnight.

A Falcon 9 rocket carrying the Intelsat Galaxy 37/Horizons-4 satellite looks to lift off from Canaveral’s Space Launch Complex 40 during a two-hour window that opens at 12:15 a.m. Thursday with a backup opportunity during the same window on Friday. The mission is part of Intelsat’s Galaxy fleet refresh plan that provides North American coverage for its customers.

Space Launch Delta 45’s weather squadron forecasts a 90% chance for good conditions, and 85% in the event of a 24-hour delay.

The first-stage booster is making its sixth flight and SpaceX will attempt its recovery landing downrange on the droneship Just Read the Instructions.

It’s the 39th launch from the Space Coast for 2023 with all but two coming from SpaceX.

It follows a busy day last week when SpaceX managed both a Falcon 9 launch from SLC 40 just after midnight and a Falcon Heavy launch from neighboring Kennedy Space Center 23 hours later.

The next KSC launch won’t be until the Crew-7 mission now targeting no earlier than Aug. 21. That gives the company enough time to reconfigure the pad from the massive Falcon Heavy requirements to a crewed launch.

That will be the third U.S.-based crewed flight of the year following the launches of Crew-6 last March and the Axiom Space Ax-2 mission in May, both courtesy of SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft.

Including launches from California, the Intelsat flight will mark the year’s 52nd orbital launch for SpaceX, which is well on its way to breaking its 2022 record of 61 launches. It will also be the company’s 251st successful orbital launch since the first Falcon 1 made it to space in 2008.
