Watch live coverage as SpaceX launches a Falcon 9 rocket with another batch of second-generation satellites for Elon Musk’s Starlink internet service. Liftoff from pad 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station is scheduled to launch at 6:40 p.m. EDT (2240 UTC) on Thursday, Apr. 18. The first-stage booster making its 7th flight will land on SpaceX’s drone ship ‘A Shortfall of Gravitas’, stationed in the Atlantic Ocean, about eight and a half minutes into the flight.

The mission, designated Starlink 6-52, will be the 27th launch of Starlink satellites this year and the 40th flight of a Falcon 9 rocket.

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