Being part of the Group 10 Starlink, the launch will travel in a northeast trajectory. If conditions are clear, those north of the Brevard area could get a good view of the rocket as it travels upward. Even in the daylight hours, a rocket stands out in the sky.

At 3:19 p.m. on Thursday, October 7, the rocket lifted off from Cape Canaveral Space Launch Complex 40, finally taking flight after Sunday and Wednesday scrubs. The rocket soared upward, turning to fly on a southeast trajectory. Thursday's liftoff time was adjusted to six minutes past the initially targeted launch time.

A Falcon 9 rocket is scheduled to lift off from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 4:57 p.m., according to SpaceX. Backup opportunities are available until 8:27 p.m., with additional opportunities available starting Monday at 4:31 p.m. if needed.
