You can watch the live launch and landing of the rocket on Monday.
A two-stage Falcon 9 rocket is scheduled to lift off from Florida at 9:44 a.m. on Sunday. The time is 1:44 GMT. You can watch it live at Space.com or directly from the company. About 15 minutes before the launch, SpaceX will begin its webcast.
Nine minutes after liftoff, the first stage of the Falcon 9 will return to Earth for a vertical touchdown on the A Shortfall of Gravitas, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
Due to bad weather for the recovery of the rocket, the launch was delayed a day. The launch of Starlink will take place in theEST.
The Starlink satellite megaconstellation was launched in photos.
Monday will be the 11th launch and landing of this particular Falcon 9 first stage. The reuse record was set by a different Falcon 9 core during a Starlink launch.
Two Starlink batches were launched in January and one in February. The most recent mission ran into trouble because of a solar eruption.
The storm boosted drag on the Starlink satellites. Up to 40 of the 49 spaceships came crashing back to Earth.
About 2,100 Starlink satellites have been launched by the company. Up to 30,000 more Starlink craft could be launched by the company if it gets permission from an international regulator.
