LIVE, on site from Kennedy Space Center's NASA causeway, just 5 miles (7 km) from the landing and 6.5 miles (10 km) from the launch! This is one of the absolute best places to see a Falcon Heavy rocket launch and land.

SpaceX will be launching its second Falcon Heavy rocket carrying the Arabsat-6A communications satellite to orbit. This Falcon Heavy is brand new, composed of two block 5 side boosters (B15052 & B1053) and a single block 5 core booster (B1055). After separating from the core booster, the two side boosters will return to the launch site and land at Landing Zones 1 & 2 (LZ-1 & LZ-2). Following separation from the second stage, the core booster will be landing on Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship Of Course I Still Love You (OCISLY).
