## Key points

- SpaceX將發射一顆由洛克希德·馬丁製造的GPS III SV09衛星，而非Starlink有效載荷。
- 週日晚間的Falcon 9 GPS III發射僅有15分鐘的發射窗口。
- 一項GPS III任務從Vulcan轉移至Falcon 9，另一項則從Falcon Heavy轉至Vulcan。
- GPS III SV09以Ellison Onizuka上校命名，以紀念挑戰者號災難的遇難者。

After a week without a rumble, SpaceX is set to launch its next Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral — and it isn’t a Starlink mission. No earlier than 11:46 p.m. Sunday, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch a Lockheed Martin-built GPS satellite to medium-Earth orbit from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The satellite is the ninth in a series of next-generation Space Force GPS satellites. It's worth staying up late for this rocket launch as SpaceX only has a 15-minute period during which it can launch the satellite. Should the mission take off Sunday night, it will mark one week between rocket launches. While Florida is used to seeing more than one launch per week, SpaceX is currently limited to launching from Launch Complex 40 as it works to finalize the Starship launch pad at Pad 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. When is the next Florida rocket launch? Is there a launch today? Upcoming SpaceX rocket launch schedule in Florida Experience, changing rockets, and having the necessary equipment ready allowed the launch teams to process and integrate the GPS III (SV09) satellite with the Falcon 9 rocket on a shorter timeline than previously. “For this launch, we traded a GPS III mission from a Vulcan to a Falcon 9, then exchanged a later GPS IIIF mission from a Falcon Heavy to a Vulcan,” USSF Col. Ryan Hiserote, SYD 80 Commander and NSSL program manager is quoted as saying in a Jan. 22 press release. "Our commitment to keeping things flexible – programmatically and contractually – means that we can pivot when necessary to changing circumstances. We have a proven ability to adapt the launch manifest to complex and dynamic factors and are continuing to shorten our timelines for delivering critical capabilities to warfighters.” Fitting for this time of the year, the spacecraft is named in honor of Col. Ellison Onizuka, who lost his life during the Jan. 28, 1986 Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. There will be no Brevard sonic booms from Sunday night’s launch, as the first stage will target landing on the Shortfall of Gravitas drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean. The FLORIDA TODAY Space Team will provide live updates beginning 90 minutes before liftoff at floridatoday.com/space.
