Launch recap: Scroll down to review live updates from the Friday, June 13, liftoff of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral on the Starlink 12-26 mission.

Original story: Get ready for another SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch this morning — but watch for cumulus clouds to build as the clock approaches noon along Florida's Space Coast.

Welcome to FLORIDA TODAY Space Team live coverage of SpaceX's Starlink 12-26 mission from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

The Space Force's 45th Weather Squadron predicted odds of "go for launch" conditions will deteriorate throughout the morning to 60% by shortly after noon.

Cumulus clouds pose the primary threat, with the atmosphere supporting "onshore-moving showers during the night and morning hours along the coast," the squadron's forecast said

The Falcon 9 will deploy a payload of 23 Starlink internet satellites into low-Earth orbit. No Brevard County sonic booms should occur.

After soaring skyward along a southeasterly trajectory, the rocket's first-stage booster will target landing aboard a SpaceX drone ship out at sea about eight minutes after liftoff.

Update 11:16 a.m.:  Thirteen minutes before SpaceX's Falcon 9 lifts off, the countdown appears to be proceeding as planned.

Rocket fueling remains well underway at Launch Complex 40.

Hi. Since I graduated from college, I've been trying to find cool new interesting things to do. Creating special effects wins as my favorite.

Last week, NASA announced that it passed 5,000 planets confirmed to exist outside our humble little solar system. Thanks to current and future space telescopes, the number of these so-called "exoplanets" is climbing fast, though it may take just a wee bit longer to identify all the estimated hundreds of billions of planets that are orbiting stars just here in our Milky Way — itself an average-sized ...

Apr. 11—Two South Dakota teachers have been selected to participate in a NASA Liftoff Summer Institute program. Bree Oatman, a high school science teacher at Lower Brule High School, along with Mike O⁘Connell, a middle school science teacher at Chester Area School, were chosen to attend this nationally competitive program sponsored by NASA⁘s Texas Space Grant Consortium and the University of Texas Center for Space Research. There were about 60 educators selected nationwide. In addition to winning a spot at the institute, Oatman was also recently named a recipient of a $5,000 grant, the Kelly Lane Earth and Space Science Grant. The grant is awarded by the South Dakota Space Consortium to math and science teachers in South Dakota to enhance professional development. The workshop, held from June 24-28, is a professional development training course for teachers. It emphasizes science, technology, engineering...
