SpaceX is targeting a pair of Falcon 9 launches from opposite coasts of the United States only ten hours apart Sunday, as it plans to push the total number of Starlink internet communications satellites injected into orbit so far this year past the 1,000 mark.

Veteran boosters B1078 and B1075—both with ten prior missions to their credit—are set to launch from storied Space Launch Complex (SLC)-40 at Florida’s Cape Canaveral Space Force Station as soon as 1:15 p.m. EDT and from Space Launch Complex (SLC)-4E at California’s Vandenberg Space Force Base as early as 8:45 p.m. PDT.

Already since January, SpaceX has launched over 980 Starlinks in 44 Falcon 9-lifted batches and with 22 of these small flat-packed satellites aboard B1078 and another 20 aboard B1075, this will push the tally past 1,000 by midyear for the first time. It brings to more than 6,600 the grand total of Starlinks launched into orbit since May 2019

 The first mission is scheduled to take place from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, with liftoff targeted for 1:15 p.m. EDT 
. The Falcon 9 rocket for this mission will be equipped with a veteran booster, B1078, which has already completed ten prior missions. The goal of this mission is to push the total number of Starlink satellites launched this year past the 1,000 mark.
