Location
Space Launch Complex 40
Cape Canaveral, FL, USA
Space Launch Complex 40 has witnessed the launch of 232 rockets, including 232 orbital launch attempts, while Cape Canaveral, FL, USA, has been the site for 942 rocket launches.
Rocket
SpaceX Falcon 9 Block 5
Falcon 9 is a two-stage rocket designed and manufactured by SpaceX for the reliable and safe transport of satellites and the Dragon spacecraft into orbit. The Block 5 variant is the fifth major interval aimed at improving upon the ability for rapid reusability.
Landing
Core B1052
Booster B1052 last launched 05/01/2023 and has seen 7 successful launches and landings. Stage Expended
A Shortfall of Gravitas – ASOG
The fourth ASDS barge, A Shortfall of Gravitas (ASOG) is currently used to recover Falcon 9 and Heavy boosters in the Altantic Ocean.
Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship – ASDS
An autonomous spaceport drone ship (ASDS) is an ocean-going vessel derived from a deck barge, outfitted with station-keeping engines and a large landing platform. Construction of such ships was commissioned by aerospace company SpaceX to allow for recovery of rocket first-stages at sea for high-velocity missions which do not carry enough fuel to return to the launch site after lofting spacecraft onto an orbital trajectory.
Agency
SpaceX
Space Exploration Technologies Corp., known as SpaceX, is an American aerospace manufacturer and space transport services company headquartered in Hawthorne, California. It was founded in 2002 by entrepreneur Elon Musk with the goal of reducing space transportation costs and enabling the colonization of Mars. SpaceX operates from many pads, on the East Coast of the US they operate from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and historic LC-39A at Kennedy Space Center.

I think Vlad would beg to differ with you.
please verify your launch time, it looks like the launch time is for 7:17am on Monday.
The time has been updated.
Will this be visible from NE Florida?
If you click on the link under the mission section you can see the trajectory is south. You may be able to see it but probably not for long.
8:45 am or 9:06 am??
The launch is scheduled for 8:45 AM right now. Check back for updates.
Will a link be provide so we can watch Online like previous launches? These are much better than the limited exposure/ information provided on the “News” stations. Everyone is doing a great job to move us Forward!
Yes, the link will be posted when it is available.
Another great launch and show by our friends at SpaceX. Always good to see the landing on the drone ship and amazing technology folks, thanks again SpaceX for the telecast of these launches its always appreciated by us Aussies down under. P.S Not bad for an American “broomstick” rocket launch… Read more »
Space X I cannot wait to see the heavy booster catch landing. Good luck and God bless.
