Watch live coverage from Cape Canaveral as SpaceX launches a Falcon 9 rocket with 29 satellites for the company's Starlink internet service. Liftoff from Space Launch Complex 40 is scheduled during a launch window that opens at 3:26 p.m. EST (2026 UTC) on Thursday, Dec. 11. The first-stage booster for this mission, B1083, making its 16th flight, will land on SpaceX's drone ship 'Just Read the Instructions', stationed in the Atlantic Ocean, a little more than eight minutes after leaving the launch pad.

The mission, designated Starlink 6-90, will take a south-easterly trajectory on departure from Florida's Space Coast.

Our live coverage with commentary will start about one hour prior to launch.
