Watch live coverage as SpaceX launches a Falcon 9 rocket with 23 satellites for Elon Musk's Starlink internet service. Liftoff from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station is scheduled for 6:15 p.m. EST (2315 UTC) on Tuesday, February 18, 2025. The first-stage booster, 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. This will be the first landing in the immediate vicinity of The Bahamas. The mission, designated Starlink 10-12, will take a south-easterly trajectory on departure from Florida's Space Coast with the JRTI droneship positioned near Exuma, one of the islands that make up The Bahamas. Commentary will be provided by Spaceflight Now's Will Robinson Smith, starting approximately an hour prior to liftoff.
