SpaceX is set to launch yet another batch of its Starlink satellites to orbit this evening (May 31). A Falcon 9 rocket carrying 23 of the broadband craft is scheduled to lift off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station today, during a nearly three-hour window that opens at 7:47 p.m. EDT (2347 GMT).

SpaceX reveals the target date in an FCC filing that also urges the commission to loosen restrictions on radio frequency emissions to improve the system's coverage.

SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket sent up Starlink 6-64 mission from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, stated the California-based company. The launch window opened at 10:11 p.m. ET, with backup opportunities available until 10:37 p.m. ET, when the launch took place.

SpaceX and optical astronomers have already butted heads over the high reflectivity of Starlink internet satellites, and now radio astronomers have their own beef with Elon Musk's aerospace firm. Scientists fear that high-power cellular signals beamed toward Earth for smartphone connectivity could interfere with radio observations and possibly even cause damage to radio telescopes.

Scientists fear cellular satellites from SpaceX and AST SpaceMobile will interfere with and even damage their radio astronomy equipment.
