    SpaceX to launch Telecom Satellite from Florida

    SpaceX on Tuesday night will again attempt to launch a telecommunications satellite from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

    After several delays, the launch attempt on Monday night was ultimately scrubbed.

    Instead, a backup opportunity is available Tuesday with a 116-minute window opening at 8:01 p.m.

    According to Florida Today, a Falcon 9 rocket will deploy an Indonesian telecommunications satellite in geosynchronous transfer orbit. The satellite, built by Boeing, will operate for Indonesia’s first satellite-based private telecommunications company.

    This will be the 23rd flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously supported Crew-6, SES O3b mPOWER-b, USSF-124, BlueBird 1-5, and 18 Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

    News 6 will stream the launch live at the top of this story. ClickOrlando
