A SpaceX Falcon 9 booster is poised to set a new reuse record when it lifts off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in the early morning hours Thursday. Booster B1067 is scheduled to launch at 5:25 a.m. EDT from Launch Complex 40, marking its 36th flight — a milestone for reusable rocket hardware.
The mission, designated Starlink 10-42, will add another batch of satellites to SpaceX's growing broadband constellation. The pre-dawn launch window means early risers along Florida's Space Coast may catch a bright streak climbing into the sky before sunrise.
B1067 has become one of the most-flown boosters in SpaceX's fleet, and this launch pushes that record even further. Each successful reuse reinforces the company's case that orbital-class rockets can fly repeatedly with aircraft-like turnaround ambitions.
