SpaceX plans to launch the rocket Tuesday night with two dozen new Starlink satellites in tow.

The satellites will be deployed into low-Earth orbit to help expand the company’s global high-speed internet network.

SpaceX also just launched a rocket on Monday on a similar mission; shortly after 5 a.m., the Falcon 9 sent 23 Starlinks into orbit.

The Nov. 26 launch is scheduled for 10:05 p.m. from Kennedy Space Center.
