A busy week on the Space Coast could see two rockets launch within hours of one another as both SpaceX and United Launch Alliance had missions lined up to proliferate a pair of competing satellite constellations.

The second of two launches is on tap from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station’s Space Launch Complex 41 when a ULA Atlas V rocket is slated to lift off during a window that runs from 8:09-8:38 a.m.

Its payload is 27 satellites for SpaceX competitor Amazon for its Project Kuiper constellation. It would be the third time ULA has flown operational satellites for Amazon.

It also marks ULA’s fourth mission of the year, with three Atlas V rockets for Project Kuiper missions while ULA’s new Vulcan rocket flew its first national security mission in August.

It would also be launch No.
