Preparations are underway for the next rocket launch from the Space Coast.
A United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket will launch Morelos-3, a communications satellite for the Mexican government on Friday.
Morelos-3 will be part of the Mexsat constellation of satellites owned by Mexico’s Ministry of Communications and Transportation that delivers advanced telecommunications throughout Mexico.
Friday’s launch window is from 6:08 a.m. to 6:28 a.m. at Space Launch Complex 41 at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
Morelos-3 will be the 57th Atlas V launch since the vehicle’s inaugural mission in 2002.
