SpaceX Launch Live Today: How to Watch Falcon 9 Liftoff, Mission Details & Full Schedule
• Hot Trendy News
SpaceX’s massive Starship rocket is set to ignite the South Texas sky tonight, opening a pivotal 60-minute launch window at 7:30 p.m. ET (6:30 p.m. local, 23:30 UTC) from Pad A at Starbase near Boca Chica Village. If the countdown proceeds smoothly, Flight 9 will mark the most ambitious test yet for the fully reusable, 394-foot-tall launch system that Elon Musk says will one day ferry humans to the Moon and Mars.
Why this launch matters
• Proof of upgrades: Engineers introduced 63 design and software changes after the fiery losses of Flights 7 and 8, including reinforced heat-shield tiles, a new vent-relief system and tweaked Raptor engine throttling profiles.
• Full-stack goals: SpaceX aims to separate the 33-engine Super Heavy booster at T+2:45, perform a boost-back burn and soft-splash it in the Gulf, while the upper stage targets a partial orbit and controlled descent toward the Pacific.
• Regulatory hurdle cleared: The FAA signed off late Friday, citing “no significant environmental impact.”
How to watch the SpaceX launch live
• X (formerly Twitter): @SpaceX will begin its official webcast about 30 minutes before liftoff.
• YouTube simulcasts: NASA Spaceflight, Everyday Astronaut and other channels will stream multi-angle coverage and real-time telemetry.
• In-person viewing: South Padre Island’s Isla Blanca Park and Port Isabel’s Lighthouse Pier remain the closest public spots; local authorities advise arriving six hours early to beat road closures.
Launch timeline (all times ET)
7:30 p.m. — Window opens / ignition of all 33 Raptors
7:33 p.m. — Max Q (peak aerodynamic stress)
7:35 p.m. — Stage separation & boost-back
7:38 p.m. — Super Heavy landing burn
8:06 p.m. — Starship engine cutoff, near-orbital insertion
~8:40 p.m. — Re-entry and Pacific splashdown west of Hawaii
Weather & probability of liftoff
The 45th Weather Squadron predicts 80 % “go” conditions: light onshore winds, 5 % chance of violation for triggered lightning and anvil clouds.

Broader context
Earlier this morning, a routine Falcon 9 thundered away from Vandenberg Space Force Base, deploying 24 more Starlink satellites and extending the constellation beyond 6,600 operational units. Tonight’s Starship mission, by contrast, is pure R&D—but its success would unlock multi-payload launches that could carry up to 150 metric tons at once, slashing per-kilogram costs and reshaping everything from lunar landers to deep-space probes.
What’s next
If Flight 9 achieves at least partial success—clearing the tower, safe stage separation and data on heat-shield performance—SpaceX plans to request approval for Flight 10 as early as August, potentially with a demonstration payload for NASA’s Artemis program. Fail or fly, the lessons from tonight will ripple across the entire launch industry, tightening the race toward fully reusable super-heavy lift.
Stay tuned here for real-time updates, analysis and the first images of Starship blazing a copper trail over the Gulf Coast sky.
