SpaceX hopes to launch 'Falcon 9 Block 5' on Monday

SpaceX is hoping to launch a new rocket. 

The Falcon 9 Block 5 tested its engines on Friday on the Space Coast.

The launch could happen as early as Monday afternoon, but SpaceX says it is still reviewing data from Friday's test before scheduling lift-off.

It is set to carry a satellite into space for Bangladesh.

The exact launch date and time hasn't been announced, but it's expected to take off from Kennedy Space Center this week.
