@SpaceX Targeting Wednesday, April 8 for a Falcon 9 launch of Northrop Grumman’s Cygnus XL commercial resupply mission (NG-24)) to the International Space Station from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Liftoff is targeted for 8:51 a.m. ET, with a backup launch opportunity available on Thursday, April 9 at 8:26 a.m. ET
This is the seventh flight of the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Ax-4, Crew-11, NG-23, and three Starlink missions. Following stage separation, Falcon 9 will land on Landing Zone 40 (LZ-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station
