SpaceX targets Wednesday Falcon 9 launch

A busy stretch on the Eastern Range continues with SpaceX’s planned Wednesday morning launch of a Falcon 9 carrying a pair of commercial communications satellites. There’s an 80 percent chance of favorable weather for the targeted 10:29 a.m. liftoff, at the opening of a 44-minute window at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station’s Launch Complex 40. The mission is one of three in quick succession this month, along with two by United Launch Alliance. ULA’s Delta IV Heavy rocket on Saturday blasted off with a U.S. intelligence satellite on the mission's second attempt in three days, while an Atlas V is being prepared for a June 24 liftoff with a Navy communications satellite.
