Watch live coverage as SpaceX launches a Falcon 9 rocket carrying the EchoStar 25 direct broadcast satellite into a geosynchronous transfer orbit. Liftoff from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station is scheduled for Tuesday, March 10, at 12:19 a.m. EDT (0419 UTC).

The high-power satellite, built by Maxar, will provide services stationed in geostationary orbit at 110-degrees West for the Dish Network.

The first-stage booster for this mission, B1085, launching for a 14th time, will land on the drone ship, 'A Shortfall of Gravitas,' stationed in the Atlantic Ocean, roughly 8.5 minutes after leaving the launch pad.

The mission will take an easterly trajectory on departure from Florida's Space Coast.

Our live coverage with commentary from Spaceflight Now's Will Robinson-Smith will start about one hour prior to launch.
