General information about the launch is here:

https://www.nasa.gov/mission/nasas-spacex-crs-29/

And there are a bunch of places to watch a live stream of the launch, including (but not limited to):

It sounds like coverage should start at 8 pm EST with the launch nominally scheduled for 8:28 EST, though I assume updated information will be posted at the CRS-29 page linked above if plans change.

The 29th commercial resupply services mission (CRS-29) to the International Space Station launches tonight. Among other things, it will deliver ILLUMA-T, a #laserCommunications terminal that will be used to experiment with communications to the ground via the #LCRD laser communications relay satellite. More information about ILLUMA-T can be found here:

Launch currently looks like it's scheduled for 8:28 pm. It will be live streamed, and there are several ways to watch it (1/2).
