Get ready for an exciting SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch at Cape Canaveral, Florida! On December 2, 2025, at 4:22 p.m. ET, SpaceX is set to launch a rocket during dinnertime, despite the challenging weather conditions. But here's where it gets interesting: scattered clouds, possible showers, and a strong wind warning with gusts up to 35 knots are expected at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. A cold front is moving across Central Florida, adding to the excitement!
FLORIDA TODAY Space Team is bringing you live coverage of the SpaceX Starlink 6-95 mission. After several delays, SpaceX has finally set a new liftoff target for 5:18 p.m. The Falcon 9 rocket will deploy 29 Starlink internet satellites into low-Earth orbit, and the launch window extends until 7:16 p.m. if needed.
The 45th Weather Squadron's forecast predicts a 70% 'go for launch' weather chance early in the window, improving to 80% by the end. Cumulus clouds, disturbed weather, thick cloud layers, and a low-to-moderate risk of upper-level wind shear are the primary concerns. But don't worry, this mission won't cause any sonic booms in Brevard County! The rocket's first-stage booster will follow a southeasterly trajectory and land on a SpaceX drone ship out at sea.
Stay tuned as we bring you the live webcast, starting about five minutes before liftoff, right here on our website. We'll have our countdown clock and the webcast ready for you!
