SpaceX is preparing to send its next round of Starlink satellites into lower Earth orbit with a launch scheduled for Monday afternoon at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, officials said.

A Falcon 9 rocket carrying 21 Starlink spacecraft, including 13 with direct-to-cellphone capability, is scheduled to lift off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station today during a three-hour window that opens at 3:22 p.m. EST (2022 GMT). SpaceX will livestream the action, beginning about five minutes before launch.
