Live coverage: Falcon 9 blasts off with X-37B mini-shuttle

SpaceX plans to deploy the next group of Starlink internet relay spacecraft Sunday with a liftoff on top of a Falcon 9 rocket from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, the company’s fourth satellite launch of the month.

This is the first of three planned Falcon 9 missions Amazon booked for its internet relay satellites. Liftoff is scheduled for 2:30 a.m. EDT (0630 UTC) from pad 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

A small satellite assembled in Britain has been released from the International Space Station, commencing a standalone mission to test technology and techniques that could be used to capture and de-orbit space junk in low Earth orbit.
