Storms rolled through the Kennedy Space Center on Tuesday afternoon—as they often do during the summer—but SpaceX continued to press forward toward launching its 10th batch of Starlink satellites.

The company will seek to launch 57 Starlink satellites, along with two Earth-observation satellites for BlackSky Global, on a Falcon 9 rocket at 11:59am ET on Wednesday (15:59 UTC) from Launch Complex-39A at Kennedy Space Center. The weather looks decent, with a 60-percent chance of favorable conditions at liftoff.

SpaceX first attempted to launch this mission back on June 26 but stood down a couple of hours before the planned launch, citing the need for additional time to conduct pre-launch checkouts.
