SpaceX is targeting Tuesday, May 23 for Falcon 9's launch of the ARABSAT BADR-8 mission to a geosynchronous transfer orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The 127-minute launch window opens at 11:25 p.m. ET (03:25 UTC on May 24). If needed, there is a backup opportunity available on Wednesday, May 24 with the same window.

The first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched GPS III Space Vehicle 04, GPS III Space Vehicle 05, Inspiration4, Ax-1, Nilesat 301, OneWeb Launch 17, and seven Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the Just Read the Instructions droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

A live webcast of this mission will begin about 15 minutes prior to liftoff...

SpaceX отменила запуск спутника связи компании Arabsat из-за непогоды

Москва. 24 мая. INTERFAX.RU - Запуск ракеты Falcon 9 с телекоммуникационным спутником BADR-8 арабского оператора Arabsat, планировавшийся в среду, перенесен из-за неблагоприятных погодных условий, сообщила компания-разработчик носителя SpaceX.
Запуск предполагалось осуществить в среду утром с 40-го стартового комплекса на базе американских космических сил на мысе Канаверал во Флориде.
Спутник предназначен для обеспечения связи в Европе, на Ближнем Востоке, в Африке и Центральной Азии. Он также оснащен модулем TELEO компании Airbus для обеспечения оптической связи на гигабитных скоростях.
Масса спутника составляет 4,5 тонн.
