Mashable: SpaceX is launching a secret mission to space Wednesday. Here's what we know so far.

On Wednesday, SpaceX will launch a secret mission to space.

The Elon Musk-founded spaceflight company is expected to launch a secret government payload known only as Zuma atop a Falcon 9 rocket at around 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday.

Once the secret mission is safely on its way to orbit, the first stage of the Falcon 9 will come back down to Earth, landing on a pad back in Cape Canaveral, Florida about 10 minutes later.

You can watch the launch live via SpaceX, and we'll embed the live feed in the window below once the company makes it available.
