After a scrubbed attempt on Monday, SpaceX is gearing up for another Falcon 9 launch window on Tuesday evening.
SpaceX is preparing to try again on Tuesday night to launch a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Monday’s attempt faced several delays before being called off, but a new 116-minute launch window opens Tuesday at 8:01 p.m.
According to Florida Today, the mission will deploy an Indonesian telecommunications satellite into geosynchronous transfer orbit. Built by Boeing, the satellite will support Indonesia’s first private satellite-based telecommunications company, marking a major step for the nation’s connectivity.
This flight will also highlight the impressive record of the Falcon 9’s first stage booster. Tuesday’s mission will be its 23rd launch, following a track record that includes Crew-6, SES O3b mPOWER-b, USSF-124, BlueBird 1-5, and 18 Starlink missions.
After stage separation, the booster is scheduled to land on the droneship A Shortfall of Gravitas, stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
