Where to watch Elon Musk's amazing Starlink satellites launch?
Tech billionaire Elon Musk’s aerospace company SpaceX is set to lift off its Starlink satellites on the top of a Falcon 9 rocket from Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station into orbit of the Earth.

The launch will be conducted with a four-hour window that is set to commence at 5:50pm EDT (2150 GMT).

The event will be live-streamed on an X, formerly Twitter, account which will begin five minutes before the lift-off.

It is anticipated that if everything goes as per the plan, the rocket Falcon 9's first stage will fall back on Earth for a vertical landing about 8.5 minutes after the launch on the drone ship Just Read the Instructions, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean, reported Space.com.

In a mission description, SpaceX said, it will be the 13th launch and landing for the booster as half of the space vehicle’s earlier 12 flights were Starlink satellite missions.

The upper stage of the rocket is set to deploy the 23 Starlink satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) about 65 minutes after liftoff.

On Saturday, Elon Musk’s company launched two of Europe's Galileo navigation satellites. The liftoff was the 20th for the rocket’s first stage that the company is attempting to reuse.
