Watch live: SpaceX Falcon 9 launches space station crew for NASA from Cape Canaveral

Watch live coverage as SpaceX launches a Falcon 9 carrying a NASA astronaut and Russian cosmonaut to the International Space Station aboard a Dragon capsule. Liftoff from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station is scheduled for 1:17 p.m. EDT (1717 UTC) on Saturday, Sept. 28. It will be the first time a human spaceflight mission has launched from pad 40. The first-stage booster, making its 2nd flight, will return to a landing at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station about eight minutes after launch.
Aboard Dragon Freedom will be Crew 9 commander Nick Hague and Russian cosmonaut Alexander Gorbunov. The Dragon will launch with two empty seats to carry Boeing's Starliner astronauts Barry "Butch" Wilmore and Sunita "Suni" Williams back to Earth in February.
Commentary will be provided by Spaceflight Now's Will Robinson-Smith, starting approximately four hours prior to liftoff.
