The start of coverage is anticipated to occur five minutes prior to launch.

8.5 minutes after launch, if all goes as planned, the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket‘s first stage will return to Earth and touch down on a SpaceX drone ship that is positioned offshore.

According to a SpaceX mission description, this SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket’s first stage will be launching and landing for the seventeenth time. 

Two SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket boosters have now completed 16 flights, thus that will represent a new milestone in the reusability of rockets.

Meanwhile, it will take 62.5 minutes for the 22 Starlink satellites to launch from the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket’s upper stage into low-Earth orbit.

Another record will be broken with tonight’s launch of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket because it will be SpaceX’s 65th orbital flight of the year.
