SpaceX is about to tie its rocket-reuse record for the second time in less than a week.A Falcon 9 rocket is set to launch two Earth-observation satellites for the company Maxar today (May 2) from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California,

SpaceX flew a first-stage Falcon 9 booster for the 20th time on Saturday, equaling a record set by another Falcon 9 booster earlier this month.

SpaceX is targeting Thursday, May 2 for a Falcon 9 launch of 23 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

SpaceX has tied its own record with the 20th use of a Falcon 9 booster with its latest and final mission, the launch of a European Union Galileo L12 navigation and positioning satellite.

SpaceX achieved its 300th successful touchdown of a Falcon 9 first-stage booster on Tuesday, nine years after landing the first one.

Weather permitting and depending on cloud cover, watching a rocket launch streak across the night sky after a Cape Canaveral liftoff is so Florida.

It will be the 20th launch for this Falcon 9's first stage, according to a SpaceX mission description. That will tie a mark set earlier this month by a different Falcon 9 booster, on a launch of SpaceX's Starlink internet satellites. SpaceX will livestream tonight's action via its X account; coverage will start about 10 minutes before liftoff.
