The mission involves the next set of SpaceX’s Starlink internet satellites. With the payload belonging to Group 6 of the satellite network, the rocket will proceed on a southeast path. This implies that observers south of Cape Canaveral may witness an excellent view.

sonic booms over Central Florida are not anticipated, as the first stage booster of the rocket will be landing on a drone ship stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
