4K Video: Watch the Falcon 9 test fire its 1st stage engines (members only)

The Starlink 12-26 mission represents the 490th Falcon 9 rocket launch to date. SpaceX is targeting a liftoff from pad 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 11:29 a.m. EDT (1529 UTC).

SpaceX is targeting Saturday for launch of its next space station resupply mission from Cape Canaveral after a problem with an upper stage steering system actuator flared up during a countdown Tuesday.

SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket was lifted upright on Cape Canaveral’s Complex 40 launch pad Monday after workers loaded time-sensitive supplies and research specimens into the Dragon cargo craft’s pressurized cabin.
