Live updates from Sunday afternoon’s SpaceX Starlink 6-77 unsuccessful Falcon 9 rocket launch try from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

The Falcon 9 rocket is set to take off from Space Launch Complex 40 at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The rocket is aiming to send another batch of Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit. SpaceX said this launch marks the third flight for the booster, which previously launched the Crew-9 mission and another Starlink payload.

SpaceX currently operates close to 6,500 Starlink satellites in orbit and has plans to loft thousands more. The satellites have been used to provide vital communications to hard-hit areas following natural disasters such as Hurricane Helene or in the wake of conflicts such as Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
