Mission
Starlink Group 4-5
- Type: Communications
- Orbit: Low Earth Orbit
- Launch Cost: $52,000,000
A batch of 49 satellites for Starlink mega-constellation – SpaceX’s project for space-based Internet communication system.
Location
Launch Complex 39A
Kennedy Space Center, FL, USA
Launch Complex 39A has witnessed the launch of 175 rockets, including 174 orbital launch attempts, while Kennedy Space Center, FL, USA, has been the site for 233 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 B1062
Booster B1062 last launched 03/16/2024 and has seen 19 successful launches and landings. Notable launches include GPS III SV04 & SV05 , Inspiration4 and Axiom-1.
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. They also operate from SLC-4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, usually for polar launches. Another launch site is being developed at Boca Chica, Texas.
Good to see the gang from SpaceX are the first to hit space for 2022.
This year is going to be a ripper for space exploration, bring it on .
Will this launch be viable from NE Florida?
The launch trajectory can be found at the link under the mission section on this page. The trajectory is southeast, but if it is not cloudy I think you will be able to see it.
Great launch for 2022 SpaceX , this year is going to be a ripper .
All the very best from South Australia we are with you all the way.
Is this a kind of a communication satellite?
The satellites are used to provide Internet service throughout the world.
Congratulations Space X team.
Need to add to the Rocket Launch Schedule…Virgin Orbit – LauncherOne
The LauncherOne launch can be found here

Times are historic?
Hi, thanks for all of this work! Where is your data from? Could it be possible to get data files, or at least summaries of launches by year? In particular, I’d love to know how many launches are scheduled for 2022.
The launch schedule for 2022 is available here:
https://www.spacelaunchschedule.com/2022-launch-schedule/
The data comes from https://thespacedevs.com/
why do you not list the timezone for the launch time or specify that it is UTC. Whole lot of detectice work required to figure out the launch time.
The launch date and time displayed should be for your location.
If I was in the area is this something I could take my family to and see?
Yes, click the watch in person button at the top of the page.
I need to update the launch news
Is there a consolidated format of launches by year for each manufacturer? (ie. historicals)
The main menu has an option to view by the agency.
Are any launches scheduled from Sept. 18, 2022 to Sept. 23, 2022?
Launches are not usually scheduled for more than a week or two out. Keep checking back.
This is Nathan keim when does the space launch
We are trying to buy airline tickets to correspond with a late October or November launch. Can you tell me the launch dates for those two months?
Rocket launches are not usually scheduled more than two weeks out.
.SpaceX’s last launch gave Brainerd Shiu and his cell group access to equipment
harrowing to society; there better be solution; there is no censuring of wireless xmssns
Where’s the schedule…these are all passed…we keep missing them. Great we can see them from home. (But… only if we know ) 😀
The upcoming schedule is available here https://www.SpaceLaunchSchedule.com
Is there a web site that shows what the rocket trajectory will be at time of launch?
Thanks,

When the trajectory is account it will be displayed under the mission section.
