On Monday, SpaceX will launch a Falcon 9 rocket into low Earth orbit carrying 21 Starlink satellites, 13 of which will be capable of direct communications with mobile networks.
The launch will take place from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida at approximately 11:26 p.m. ET, with possible backup time windows until 3:06 a.m. local time Tuesday.
If necessary, another launch will be scheduled for 22:47 local time.
The live broadcast of the mission will begin approximately five minutes before launch or even earlier.
This will be the first flight of the first stage of the launch vehicle in support of this mission, and after separation, the stage will land on the unmanned ship Just Read the Instructions in the Atlantic Ocean.
The U.S. Justice Department on Friday decided to drop a discrimination case against SpaceX over the company's hiring practices.
