The launch is set to take off at 9:19 PM EST (6:19 PM PST) on Monday January 6, and the live video stream of the mission will begin above approximately 15 minutes prior to lift-off time (at around 9:04 PM EST (6:04 PM PST). > This launch will add 60 more satellites to the SpaceX Starlink constellation, joining 60 launched at the end of last year, and a previous group of 60 launched earlier in 2019 for testing and experimentation purposes. SpaceX will operate a constellation of around 180 satellites (some of the original batch are no longer in operation), which is the most in active use by any private satellite operator currently in business.
