A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch from California early Monday morning (Sept. 25), carrying 21 Starlink satellites to orbit.
The Falcon 9 is scheduled to lift off from Vandenberg Space Force Base in Florida Monday at 3:23 a.m. EDT (0723 GMT; 12:23 a.m. local California time).
You possibly can watch it live via SpaceX’s account on X (formerly Twitter); coverage will start about five minutes before liftoff.

If all goes in accordance with plan, the Falcon 9’s first stage will come back to Earth safely, landing on a SpaceX drone ship at sea about 8.5 minutes after launch.
It is going to be the sixth liftoff and landing for this Falcon 9 first stage, in accordance with a SpaceX mission description.
The 21 Starlink satellites, meanwhile, are scheduled to deploy from the Falcon 9’s upper stage into low Earth orbit (LEO) about 62.5 minutes after launch.
Monday morning’s launch will come lower than two days after a Starlink liftoff from Florida’s Space Coast that marked the seventeenth flight for a Falcon 9 first stage. That tied the corporate’s reuse record, which was set just last week.
Starlink is SpaceX’s web megaconstellation. The network consists of greater than 4,750 operational satellites in LEO, and that number will proceed to grow far into the long run.
