Watch live: SpaceX test fires Falcon 9 rocket that suffered water intrusion

Watch live as SpaceX test fires a brand-new Falcon 9 rocket that will eventually carry the Crew 9 mission to the International Space Station. The static fire test and a "shakedown" mission were ordered for the booster after it suffered moisture intrusion on the road from SpaceX's McGregor test facility in Texas to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The brief ignition of the rocket’s nine first stage engines will take place around 7pm EDT (2300 UTC) Monday evening at Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. If all goes according to plan the rocket will launch no earlier than Tuesday morning on the Starlink 10-5 mission and will then start preparations for the Crew 9 mission, currently scheduled for no earlier than Sept. 24. Spaceflight Now will have live coverage of the static fire test beginning about 30 minutes prior to ignition, with commentary from Spaceflight Now's Will Robinson-Smith.
