Following the most recent delay Sunday, the COSMO launch is now scheduled for 3:11 p.m. California time Monday. Once the satellite is propelled into orbit, the first stage of the Falcon 9 rocket being used in the mission will be returned to Earth and land back at Cape Canaveral. The rocket stage has been used in two previous missions, and recovering it again will allow for re-use in future flights, cutting the coasts of launches.
Both halves of the rocket's fairing, or cargo-protecting nosecone, have also been used in previous missions. At 10:46 a.m. California time Tuesday, SpaceX is scheduled to launch another batch of satellites for its Starlink broadband internet array. That launch is also scheduled at Cape Canaveral.
