SpaceX is looking to follow up its fourth test flight of its massive Starship rocket in southern Texas with a Falcon 9 launch from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The Friday night flight marks the 344th Falcon 9 to launch, a little more than 14 years after its launch debut on June 4, 2010.
The Starlink 10-1 mission will add another 22 satellites to the massive constellation consisting of more than 6,000 active satellites in low Earth orbit, according to expert orbital tracker and astronomer, Jonathan McDowell. Liftoff from pad 40 is set for 9:56 p.m. EDT (0156 UTC).
Spaceflight Now has live coverage that began about an hour prior to liftoff now set for 9:56 pm EDT.
