Hope you like Elton John. We’re going with “Rocket Man”.

If the weather cooperates, two unmanned rocket launches will go up less than 24 hours apart, a feat not seen by many who work at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.

First, today (Saturday),  United Launch Alliance is set to launch an Atlas V rocket and super-secret X-37B spaceplane from Launch Pad 41 at 8:24 a.m., though a full window has not been released due to national security reasons.

Then Sunday morning — early early Sunday morning — SpaceX is scheduled to send up a Falcon 9 rocket with a payload of 60 Starlink satellites at 3:53 a.m.

The weather is only a 40 percent for go on Saturday due to the possibility of strong east winds off the Atlantic, and since the X-37B is owned by the Air Force and considered a “national security asset,” it has priority in the airspace. If it is delayed to Sunday, SpaceX will have to delay as well, according to a Kennedy Space Center source.

If the Falcon 9 gets to go up on its third overall mission Sunday morning, it will descend toward the Of Course I Still Love You deck ship in the Atlantic before returning to Port Canaveral for retrofitting for future flights. Weather for Sunday forecast to be 80 percent favorable.
