    SpaceX Falcon 9 Set to Launch India’s GSAT-N2 Communications Satellite

    SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket is scheduled to launch the NSIL GSAT-N2 mission from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The two-hour launch window opens at 1:31 p.m. ET, with a 95% chance of favourable weather, according to the 45th Weather Squadron. The only potential concern is the cumulus cloud rule.

    If weather or technical issues delay the liftoff, a backup window is available on Tuesday at 4:33 a.m. ET.

    The Falcon 9 and First-Stage Booster

    This mission will utilise Falcon 9’s first-stage booster, B1073, which has successfully completed 18 previous missions. Among its achievements are:

    • ispace’s HAKUTO-R and NASA’s Lunar Flashlight
    • SES-22 telecommunications satellite
    • Amazonas Nexus
    • CRS-27
    • Bandwagon-1
    • 13 Starlink satellite missions

    After stage separation, the booster is set to land on the SpaceX droneship, stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
