Watch live coverage as SpaceX launches a Falcon 9 rocket with 4 MicroGEO satellites from Astranis to offer satellite internet connectivity from geostationary Earth orbit. Liftoff from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station is scheduled for 11:15 p.m. EST on Saturday, December 21 (0500 UTC). The first-stage booster making its 17th flight will land on SpaceX's drone ship 'A Shortfall of Gravitas', stationed in the Atlantic Ocean, about eight and a half minutes after leaving the launch pad.

The mission, designated Astranis: From One to Many, will take an easterly trajectory on departure from Florida's Space Coast. The mission includes Astranis' first UtilitySat satellite, which offers the ability to shift orbital positions during its lifetime.

Commentary will be provided by Spaceflight Now's Will Robinson-Smith, starting approximately an hour prior to liftoff.
