SpaceX crews are preparing to launch a Falcon 9 rocket Tuesday from Florida’s Space Coast. The launch is set for 1:53 p.m. from Space Launch Complex 40 at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The launch is aiming to send another batch of Starlink satellites into orbit.

NASA and SpaceX are pushing up Crew-10’s launch date by reusing a previously flown Dragon spacecraft, Endurance. This strategic shift speeds up both Crew-10’s arrival and Crew-9’s return while ensuring mission safety.

Media accreditation is open for the launch of NASA's 10th rotational mission of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft, carrying astronauts to the International Space Station for a science expedition.

NASA will return Starliner astronauts to Earth early along with their Crew-9 companions, after deciding to swap Crew-10 spacecraft to launch the SpaceX mission sooner.
