SpaceX will launch Northrop Grumman's new "Cygnus XL" cargo ship on its debut mission to the International Space Station (ISS) this evening (Sept. 14), and you can watch the action live.

A Falcon 9 rocket carrying the Cygnus freighter is scheduled to launch from Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station today at 6:11 p.m. EDT (2211 GMT).

SpaceX and NASA will both stream the launch live, beginning about 30 minutes before liftoff. Space.com will carry the agency's feed, if it's made available.

The mission is known as NG-23, because it will be the 23rd cargo effort that Northrop Grumman flies to the ISS for NASA. NG-23 will be the first Cygnus liftoff since August 2024, when NG-21 took flight.

NG-22 was supposed to follow in January of this year but was delayed to June due to avionics
