What to know: SpaceX rocket launch set for tonight from Cape Canaveral, Florida

Those waiting for the next rocket launch do not have to wait much longer, as SpaceX has plans to launch a rocket tonight (April 27).

Liftoff is set for 10:58 p.m. from Cape Canaveral Launch Complex 40. The Falcon 9 rocket will be carrying the Starlink 12-23 mission to orbit. This is the latest batch of SpaceX's Starlink internet satellites.

Delivering Group 12 satellites, the rocket will travel on a southeast trajectory after lift off to send the payload to its specific position in orbit.

There will be no Space Coast sonic booms, as the rocket booster will land eight-and-a-half minutes after lift off on the Just Read the Instructions drone ship, which will be stationed out in the Atlantic Ocean.

And it's only the first planned rocket launch of the week.
