The Falcon 9 rocket, featuring a first-stage booster on its 20th flight, previously supported missions like Crew-6, SES O3b mPOWER-B, and USSF-124. Following stage separation, the booster will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship in the Atlantic Ocean, furthering SpaceX’s reusable rocket program.
Backup launch windows extend until 8:40 a.m. ET on May 4, with additional opportunities on May 5 starting at 4:56 a.m. ET.
The satellites, potentially including Direct-to-Cell models, will enhance SpaceX’s global internet constellation.
A live webcast will stream on SpaceX’s website, X @SpaceX, and the X TV app, starting five minutes before liftoff.
This mission marks another step in SpaceX’s quest to revolutionize global connectivity.
