Critical milestones coming in the next few minutes include a poll by the SpaceX launch conductor to begin fueling the booster with super-chilled kerosene and liquid oxygen propellants.

The readiness poll is scheduled for 2:21 p.m. EDT (1821 GMT), followed by the start of RP-1 kerosene loading around three minutes later. Super-cold liquid oxygen will flow into the two-stage rocket beginning at 2:59 p.m. EDT (1859 GMT).

The Falcon 9 rocket will deliver the Koreasat 5A communications satellite into an elliptical supersynchronous transfer orbit about a half-hour after liftoff.

 Скрытый текст:

Owned by South Korea-based KTsat, the spacercaft's communications payload includes 36 Ku-band transponders to provide television, Internet and maritime services over a broad swath of the Middle East, the Indian Ocean and Asia.

Today's launch will be the 44th flight of a Falcon 9 rocket since it debuted in June 2010, and the 16th Falcon 9 mission so far in 2017.
