Good morning, Palm Bay.

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch Amazon’s Project Kuiper satellites from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Aug.

7 between 10:01 a.m. and 10:28 a.m. Weather will affect visibility along Florida’s coast—viewers from Jacksonville Beach to West Palm Beach may see the launch if skies remain clear.

On August 3, law enforcement agencies in Brevard County arrested 12 individuals—charged with resisting an officer, battery, theft, and drug-related crimes—in several local communities, and all suspects remain presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex will host Kennedy Under the Stars on August 30 at 6:30 p.m. as a Y2K-themed event featuring a techno glow party, costume contests, and retro hits — the celebration will offer stargazing sessions, a glowing mini golf course and meet-and-greet opportunities with veteran NASA astronauts.

Melissa Calhoun, a former AP English teacher at Satellite High, was cleared to return on probation after settling matters on July 30 but Brevard Public Schools will not rehire her for using a student’s chosen name without parental permission.

Superintendent Mark Rendell announced on August 5 that Calhoun must complete her one-year probation before any future consideration (a decision made amid uncertainty over state oversight).

NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch and CSA astronaut Jeremy Hansen began multi-day training in Orion at Kennedy Space Center on July 31 to simulate launch day operations — preparation for the Artemis II mission that will take them around the Moon in April.
