CAPE CANAVERAL SPACE FORCE STATION — Effective on Monday, commercial space launches and re-entries are only allowed during certain hours, according to the FAA.

The FAA issued an order to restrict commercial space launches and re-entries to 10 p.m. through 6 a.m., starting Monday, Nov. 10, until the order is canceled.

The order is to “ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficiency of the National Airspace System.”

Spectrum News has reached out to various commercial space companies and U.S. agencies to see how this will impact specific launches.

No one has yet commented on the FAA’s order.

According to the Space Launch Delta 45, Florida has seen 92 launches for 2025. In 2024, the Sunshine State saw 93 launches.
