CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — UPDATE: Thursday planned launch has been scrubbed due to weather. Another launch attempt is scheduled for Friday.

There's another rocket launch this week at Kennedy Space Center.

SpaceX is targeting 2:19 p.m. Thursday for Starlink-12, the 13th mission sending broadband internet satellites into orbit.

The satellites will be sent to space aboard a Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39-A. 

Weather conditions are currently at 60-percent favorable for Thursday's launch, according to the 45th Space Wing at nearby Patrick Air Force Base. There's also a backup launch opportunity on Friday, but the Space Wing predicts only a 40-percent chance of favorable conditions.
