Rivaling sunrise: SpaceX to launch another early morning Falcon 9 rocket Tuesday

SpaceX is planning another early morning rocket launch for Tuesday, which could outdo the sunrise and potentially wow voters out early at the polls.

As of Monday night, SpaceX confirmed they are targeting a 9:20 a.m. EDT Tuesday. That's election day and voting begins at 7 a.m. throughout Brevard County.

SpaceX typically aims for the earlier part of the launch window, yet weather at Cape Canaveral and at the location of the first stage landing droneship play a role in timing.

This launch will be the next in SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet constellation. It will see the launch of 22 Starlink satellites atop of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.

Although it will come after sunrise, it will still make for a spectacular show. A rocket launch is hard to miss no matter the time of day or location on the Space Coast.

Being in the most recent group of Starlink satellites, the rocket will travel in a northeast trajectory from Cape Canaveral Space Launch Complex 40.

The four private astronauts will launch to orbit in a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft atop a Falcon 9 rocket from Kennedy Space Center Pad 39A. This will be the first crewed launch from this launch pad.
