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.

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.
