WATCH LIVE NOW: Atlas V rocket launches from Cape Canaveral, Florida.
The commercial satellites will depart from the rocket roughly a half-hour apart, the first nearly six hours after liftoff and the second approximately 20 minutes later, with the SES-20 satellite departing first. Once separated, the satellites will use a propulsion system to circularize their orbits at 22,300 miles above the equator, according to the United Launch Alliance's mission overview.
Weather conditions have caused multiple launch delays in the past, with the Artemis I launch most recently postponed because of Hurricane Ian. Artemis I will not launch until November.Two other launches are expected later this week, with a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launching Wednesday at approximately 12 p.m. and a different Falcon 9 rocket taking off Thursday evening.
