    Umito Posted on

    Two consecutive night rocket launches are potentially scheduled for November − and depending on the weather and visibility, there could be quite a spectacle in the skies over the Treasure Coast. All rocket launches for the rest of the year will be more visible earlier in the evening starting Sunday, due to the time change.

    The next scheduled launch is scheduled for no earlier than Sunday, November 3, the day we turn back time and see an earlier sunset for the first time since the spring of March.

    SpaceX is scheduled to send another batch of Starlink satellites into space aboard a Falcon 9 rocket for its next mission from Cape Canaveral on Sunday, November 3.

    And on Monday, November 4, SpaceX is scheduled to send nearly 6,000 pounds of scientific investigations, supplies and equipment to the International Space Station aboard a Falcon 9 rocket, from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.

    Below are suggestions on where to watch the launch of the rocket from this area, a real-time weather radar to check rainy conditions and other things to know. If there are any changes to the launch schedule, this story will be updated.
