You can watch the launch and landing of the rocket on Sunday.
The two-stage Falcon 9 rocket is scheduled to lift off from California's Vandenberg Space Force Base at 9:39 pm on Sunday. California time is 6:44 p.m. You can watch it here at Space.com or via the company. About 10 minutes before liftoff, coverage will start.
If everything goes according to plan, the first stage of the Falcon 9 will return to Earth and land on a ship in the Pacific.
The Starlink megaconstellation was photographed.
This will be the sixth launch and landing for this stage. NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test mission and three Starlink batches were lofted by the booster.
The 46 Starlink satellites will be deployed by the upper stage of theFalcon 9.
The 29th and 17th missions of the year will be dedicated to Starlink, the company's huge internet-satellite constellation.
More than 2,750 Starlink satellites have been launched by the company, and the number will continue to grow. The company already has approval to launch 12,000 Starlink craft, and has applied to an international regulatory body for permission to launch up to 30,000 more.
