Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex will open its gates two hours early, at 7 a.m. this Sunday, July 24 to enable guests to view the next SpaceX Starlink 4-25 mission launch. Targeted to launch between 9:28 and 9:49 a.m., the Starlink will liftoff from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, offering visitor complex guests an excellent view from the Atlantis North Lawn. Bleacher seating will be available and commentary will be provided by Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex experts.
The SpaceX mission will carry a batch of Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit. SpaceX’s Starlink is the constellation of networked satellites aimed to provide internet services to those who are not yet connected and to provide reliable and affordable internet across the globe. The Falcon 9 first-stage booster will land on a drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean following the launch. Guests can get an up-close, nose-to-nose view of a similar SpaceX Falcon 9 booster inside the recently opened Gateway: The Deep Space Launch Complex.
Guests are strongly encouraged to arrive prior to 7 a.m. to ensure time for parking.
