The SpaceX Falcon 9 was set to launch the RRT-1 mission from Complex 40 (SLC-40). This was expected to be the fourth flight for the first-stage booster being used in this launch, which was previously used to launch Crew-9 and two Starlink missions.

According to the 45th Weather Squadron, there was a 50% chance that the launch may be postponed.

“This is the fourth flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Crew-9 and two Starlink missions.,” Space X said. “Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.”
