Weather conditions were 90% favorable for launch time Monday, according to the 45th Weather Squadron . Launch weather officers said Sunday that weather conditions would stay “much the same” in the event of another 24-hour delay.
The Falcon 9 Starlink 4-8 mission will follow a recent launch in which up to 40 of 49 Starlink satellites sent toward orbit on Feb. 3 fell back to Earth and were destroyed due to a geomagnetic storm .
