It’s very Florida to watch a rocket launch while on the beach. It is a popular hashtag on Instagram and is also Florida’s Space Coast. Usually, Windows Shake after launching the rocket.
“So Florida” is about coming. The launch of a potential SpaceX rocket.
The late-night rocket launches in Florida at Semi-Cool and Semi-Breeze were able to start the week as things went along with the space agency’s plans.
SpaceX is planning to send several Starlink satellites into orbit on Monday, February 24th, Falcon 9 rockets with several Starlink satellites. Depending on the weather and visibility, there could be a show in the sky above the Space Coast.
The Rockets will be available from the Kennedy Space Center in Brevard County, east of Orlando’s theme parks and Cape Canaveral, Florida. Depending on the cloud cover, weather and visibility, people from Daytona Beach to Titusville, Melbourne and Vero Beach are in close proximity to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, which makes it wonderful stripes in the sky You may see the pattern.
Below are some suggestions you should know where to see rocket launches from this area and more. If there is a change in the launch schedule, this story will be updated.

Where can I see the launch of the rocket in Florida? Is there a sonic boom with every launch from Cape Canaveral or Kennedy Space Center?
Depending on the weather allowed and cloud cover, rocket launches from the space shore should be visible from almost anywhere in the Brevard County area. After booting, there is usually a rumble here, and there is a possibility of window shaking.
Some rocket launches have added bonuses. SpaceX boosters either return to the Atlantic drone ship or sometimes back to the company’s landing zone in Cape Canaveral. When the booster returns to the landing zone, there is a sonic boom.
When there is a startup window in the middle of the night or early in the morning, there are unique photo opportunities. The rocket illuminates the dark sky and the powder afterwards makes a great photo.
What time will the next rocket be released from Florida? Monday, February 24th: SpaceX Starlink 12-13
SpaceX has confirmed, and the Federal Aviation Administration navigation warning shows a 4.5-hour launch window (indicating Star Link mission) from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

Where to see SpaceX Rocket launch from Florida Space Coast
Most locations in Brevard allow you to watch rocket launches in certain areas. You’ll get great views of the SpaceX rocket booster back at Pads. The perfect view to see the rocket launch from the Space Coast is along the beach. However, visibility depends on weather conditions and people should avoid blocking bridge traffic and road rights and follow rules posted on beaches.
If you’re watching a launch along the Indian River in Titusville from Spaceview Park or Parrish Park, look directly across the river.
If you’re further south along the Indian River, look northeast.
The Playalinda Beach or Canaveral National Sheashore is almost parallel to the launch pad 39A, making it the closest place to see the lift-off. On the beach, look south along the coastline (you can even see the pads from several spots).
