Original Entry: SpaceX has scheduled its next cargo launch to the International Space Station, Commercial Resupply Services-10 (CRS-10), for February 14 at 11:34 am ET from Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Complex 39A.  SpaceX leases the launch pad from NASA.  This will be its first launch from LC-39A.  Its previous East Coast launches have taken place from Space Launch Complex-40 (SLC-40) at the adjacent Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS).  The launch pad was badly damaged in a September 1, 2016 incident.  Space X had been preparing LC-39A for the first launch of its larger Falcon Heavy rocket, still in development, but LC-39A also can be used for the Falcon 9 used for these cargo missions.  SpaceX typically webcasts its launches and NASA TV also may broadcast this one.
