Watch live coverage as SpaceX launches a Falcon 9 rocket with 23 second-generation satellites for Elon Musk's Starlink internet service. Liftoff from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station is scheduled for 8:32 p.m. EDT (0032 UTC) on Friday, May 17. The first-stage booster making a record-breaking 21st flight will land on SpaceX's drone ship 'A Shortfall of Gravitas', stationed in the Atlantic Ocean, about eight and a half minutes after leaving the launch pad.

The mission, designated Starlink 6-59, will be the 36th launch of Starlink satellites this year and the 51st flight of a Falcon 9 rocket in 2024. The booster will target a south-easterly trajectory after lifting off from pad 40.

Commentary will be provided by Spaceflight Now's Will Robinson-Smith, starting approximately an hour prior to liftoff.
