You can watch the launch and landing of the rocket on a ship at sea.
A two-stage Falcon 9 rocket is scheduled to lift off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida Saturday at 10:32 p.m. You can watch it here at Space.com or via the company. About five minutes before liftoff, coverage will begin.
A little less than nine minutes after launch, the first stage of the Falcon 9 will come down to Earth, where it will be placed in the Atlantic Ocean.
The Starlink megaconstellation was photographed.
This will be the second launch and landing for this stage. The Dragon cargo capsule was sent towards the International Space Station by the booster.
After liftoff, the upper stage of the Falcon 9 will deploy the 54 Starlink satellites into Earth's low altitude.
Saturday night's launch will be the 38th of the year and will extend the company's record for most missions in a single year. The Starlink mission will be the 24th of the year.
There are big plans for Starlink by the company. The Starlink deal was announced by Musk on Thursday.
It is expected to debut next year. It will use Starlink Version 2 satellites, which will be larger and more capable than the Starlink satellites that have been launched to date.
