CAPE CANAVERAL SPACE FORCE Space fans were denied a treat of a double SpaceX launch on Tuesday night as the Starlink mission will be the only one going up.

The Space Launch Delta 45 announced on Tuesday afternoon that while the Starlink 6-34 mission is still a go for Tuesday night, the plannedUSSF-52 mission that includes a Boeing space planeis not longer scheduled for earlier in the evening and will now go up on Wednesday evening.

Originally, the two launches were set for Monday night, but were scrubbed, with the hope of trying again on Tuesday night. But it is not meant to be.

For the Starlink 6-34 mission, SpaceXs Falcon 9 rocket is expected to leave Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 11 p.m. ET, stated Sapce Launch Delta 45, which is two minutes earlier than what SpaceX posted on Monday night.

SpaceX statedthe backup launch attempts will run between 11 p.m. ET until 2:58 a.m. ET on Wednesday, Dec. 13.

It was supposed to take off Monday at 11:05 p.m. ET, but SpaceX pushed it back. It did not give a reason.

For Tuesday nights launch, the 45th Weather Squadron is giving a 65% chanceof good liftoff conditions, with the primary concerns being liftoff winds and thick cloud layers andcumulus cloud rules.

The conditions for Monday were better for launch, with the squadron calling for 85% chance of good weather with liftoff winds being the only concern.

SpaceX was originally going to launch the Starlink 6-34 mission at 11 p.m. ET on Sunday but the weather was not playing along. Mother Nature forced the California-based company to switch the launch to Monday evening.

The Falcon 9 rockets first-stage booster, B1081, is quite young and only has two successful launches under its belt.

After the stage separation, the first-stage booster is expected to land on the droneship A Shortfall of Gravitas that will be in the Atlantic Ocean.

Twenty-three Starlink satellites will meet thousands of their technical brothers and sisters. While in low-Earth orbit, they will provide internet services to many places around the planet, stated Starlink, a SpaceX company.

These Starlink V2 Mini satellites weigh quite a bit: Each one tips the scales at 1,760 pounds (800 kilograms).

Before the launch, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics Dr. Jonathan McDowelldocumented the following Starlink satellite information.
