Original: SpaceX will launch its 13th Starlink Mission, which will put 60 Starlink satellites to orbit, on Monday morning.

Liftoff is slated for 9:22 a.m. from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. See the liftoff in a livestream that will be placed in this article.

Delays and cancellations, however, are possible. If there is not a livestream available, check back at a later time.

According to SpaceX, the satellites will deploy a little more than an hour after liftoff.

The goal of Starlink is to deliver high-speed internet to places where access has been typically hard to attain in the U.S. and Canada.

“With performance that far surpasses that of traditional satellite internet, and a global network unbounded by ground infrastructure limitations, Starlink will deliver high speed broadband internet to locations where access has been unreliable, expensive, or completely unavailable,” Starlink’s website states.
