After launching 24 Starlink satellites into space, SpaceX announced on Wednesday that 21 additional satellites will make their way to low-Earth orbit.

The launch will take place at 10:27 a.m. at the  Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, where a Falcon 9 rocket will carry the satellites into space.

Thirteen of the Starlink satellites will feature direct-to-cell technology.

SpaceX has announced that there are alternative launch windows scheduled for 2:17 p.m. today and again on Thursday at 9:59 a.m.

The company announced that this will mark the third flight of the first-stage booster, which has previously participated in one other Starlink mission as well as the GOES-U mission.

After the initial stage of separation, the booster will touch down on a drone ship located in the Atlantic Ocean.
