Watch live coverage as SpaceX launches a Falcon 9 rocket with the Sirius XM SXM-9 satellite headed to a geosynchronous transfer orbit. Liftoff from pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center is scheduled for 11:10 a.m. EST (1610 UTC) on Thursday, Dec. 5 at the opening of a 90-minute launch window. A little more than eight minutes after liftoff, the first stage booster, making its 19th flight, will make a landing on the drone ship 'Just Read the Instructions' stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

The Falcon 9 will head away from Florida's space coast on an easterly trajectory.

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