The rocket will carry 21 Starlink more satellites, including 13 with Direct to Cell capabilities, to low-Earth orbit.

Following the launch and separation, the first stage of the rocket is expected to land on a droneship in the Atlantic.

That’s not the only launch expected this weekend.

SpaceX will also attempt another launch carrying Starlink satellites on Sunday evening from Space Launch Complex-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

The four-hour window for that launch opens at 9:59 p.m., with backup opportunities available until 1:59 a.m. Monday.
