Transporter 2 is the second dedicated rideshare mission by SpaceX. This time it takes 88 payloads to a sun-synchronous orbit.

The booster is a Block 5 on on its 8th mission and will return to land. Last attempt to land at LZ-1 was in March 2020.

Flightclub.io simulated the expected booster trajectory:

It will be quite the show and visibility from land will be good, as the 45TH Weather Squadron forecasts an 80% chance of favorable weather conditions.
