Another Falcon 9 Rocket Will Be Launched On Sunday

SpaceX is preparing for the launch of another Falcon 9 rocket on Sunday, June 18th. This time, the rocket will carry out the PSN SATRIA mission from the Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) located at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

The launch window will be open for a duration of 178 minutes, starting at 6:04 p.m. In case any issues arise, there is a backup opportunity available on Monday, June 19th, with a launch window of 198 minutes, beginning at 5:54 p.m.

The first stage booster assigned to this mission has previously been used for various missions, including CRS-22, Crew-3, Turksat 5B, Crew-4, CRS-25, Eutelsat HOTBIRD 13G, O3b mPOWER, and four Starlink missions.

Once the first stage separates from the Falcon 9, it will make a controlled landing on the A Shortfall Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
