SpaceX’s final launch of the year set for early Tuesday, weather permitting

SpaceX’s 31st and final Falcon 9 launch of the year is scheduled to take off early Tuesday from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, weather permitting, with a Dragon cargo ship carrying more than 6,500 pounds of supplies to the International Space Station. With the upcoming flight, the privately-held company will launch a brand new Falcon 9 booster for just the second time in 31 missions in 2021. The year has seen SpaceX fly a reusable first stage for an 11th time, launch three crew missions, and 989 Starlink internet spacecraft, more than half of the company’s active fleet of broadband satellites.
