You can watch the launch of the 13th Falcon 9 rocket at live.
A Falcon 9 rocket is scheduled to lift off at 10:20 a.m. The station is in Florida. You can watch it here at Space.com or via the company. About 5 minutes before liftoff, coverage will start.
It will be the 13th launch for this Falcon 9's first stage, tying a rocket reuse record that was set last month. The demo-2 crewed test flight to the International Space Station was one of the missions helped by the booster flying Sunday.
The Starlink megaconstellation was photographed.
If all goes well, this booster will fly again. A little less than nine minutes after liftoff, it will come down for a vertical landing on the Just Read Instructions.
The Starlink satellites are going to be deployed from the upper stage of the Falcon 9 about seven minutes after liftoff.
Sunday's flight is one of many for the company in the next few years. The company has launched 30 Falcon 9 missions so far this year.
Starlink is a large constellation of satellites. More than 2,800 Starlink satellites have been launched by the company so far, and many more will likely go up in the not-too- distant future.
