SpaceX announced the new T-0 for Starlink 6-1 is 6:13 PM. Because this new targeted time is substantially outside the Apollo/Saturn V Center's opening hours, launch viewing from the Banana Creek is no longer offered. The Atlantis North Lawn will remain open for the 6:13 PM launch attempt only. All other attractions will close per normal operations, including the Kennedy Space Center Bus Tour that will run until 2:30 PM.
MISSION:
