SpaceX is planning to launch a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base on Friday night.
The rocket is scheduled to launch between 7:39 p.m. and 11:39 p.m. on April 10.
The rocket will carry the Starlink 17-21 mission to low-Earth orbit.
Starlink is SpaceX's high-speed broadband satellite internet service designed to reach rural and remote communities.
Following stage separation, SpaceX will aim to land the rocket's first stage booster on the "Of Course I Still Love You" droneship stationed in the Pacific Ocean so it can potentially be used again.
