There will be a landing, too, if everything goes according to plan: SpaceX will try to land the Falcon 9's first stage on a pad a few miles south of the launch site, about 8 minutes after liftoff.

The liftoff will be SpaceX's first from NASA's historic Launch Complex 39A(LC-39A) at Kennedy Space Center, which the company leased for 20 years in 2014. The pad hosted most of the Apollo launches and many space shuttle launches, including the first and last ones (in 1981 and 2011, respectively).
