SpaceX is gearing up to launch some more Starlink satellites into low-earth orbit Thursday morning.

The launch was slated to happen at 10:45 p.m. from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, but has now been moved to 12:48 a.m. on Thursday.

SpaceX will be launching 22 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit by way of its Falcon 9 rocket. 

This is the eighth flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched CRS-26, OneWeb Launch 16, Intelsat IS-40e, and four Starlink missions. 

Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the Just Read the Instructions droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
