Weather looks good for planned SpaceX launch on Tuesday

SpaceX will attempt to launch more Starlink satellites into space.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - SpaceX's planned Falcon 9 rocket launch for Tuesday from Cape Canaveral has been moved to Thursday.

The rocket will carry another batch of Starlink satellites into orbit from Kennedy Space Center when it does launch.

Liftoff is set for 4:39 p.m. from launch complex 39A at KSC.

SpaceX will specifically send about 12,000 of the satellites into space. These will help establish low-cost internet to remote locations across the world. They hope to start offering broadband internet services to North America areas in need later this year.
