This mission is provided by SpaceX to Spacecom for free due to the AMOS-6 static fire failure, which destroyed the satellite and precluded the launch. This mission will launch from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral AFS on a Falcon 9, and the first-stage booster will be expended.This is SpaceX's <strong>tenth mission</strong> of 2019, the <strong>third</strong> GTO launch of the year and the <strong>seventy-fourth</strong> Falcon 9 launch overall. It will re-use the Block 5 booster flown on the Telstar 19V and Es'hail 2 missions for its final flight.Mission DetailsLiftoff currently scheduled for<a href="https://launchlibrary.net/">NET 22:51 UTC / 6:51 PM EDT August 6 2019 (85 minute long window)</a>Weather<a href="https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=48699.0;attach=1574695;sess=54892">40% GO</a>1st Static fire completed:<a href="https://twitter.com/SpaceX/status/1156741958229905409">00:00 UTC August 1 / 8:00 pm EDT July 31 2019</a>2nd Static fire completed:<a href="https://twitter.com/SpaceX/status/1157863437877141506">3:58 UTC August 4 / 11:58 pm EDT August 3 2019</a> Phew!PayloadAMOS-17Payload mass6500 kgDestination orbitGTO, likely supersynchronousLaunch vehicleFalcon 9 v1.2 Block 5Core<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/spacex/wiki/cores#wiki_b1047">B1047.3</a>Flights of this core2Launch site<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/SpaceX/wiki/pads">SLC-40</a>, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, FloridaLanding<strong>NO, Expendable</strong>Mission Success crieria:Successful separation & deployment of the Amos-17 Satellite to GTO.<a href="/#%20MC%20//%20section%20events"></a> <a href="/#%20MC%20//%20row%200%20%7C%20T-01:04:50:00%20%7C%20Thread%20Goes%20Live!%20%7C"></a>TimelineTimeUpdate<a href="/#%20MC%20//%20section%20viewing"></a>Watch the launch liveStreamCourtesy<a href="https://www.spacex.com/webcast">SpaceX Webcast</a>SpaceXSpaceX Webcast YouTube link not available yetSpaceX<a href="https://rocket.watch/#id=1388">Rocket Launch</a><a href="/u/MarcysVonEylau">u/MarcysVonEylau</a><a href="/#%20MC%20//%20section%20stats"></a>Stats82nd SpaceX launch74th Falcon 9 launch54th Falcon 9 Full Thrust launch17th Falcon 9 Full Thrust Block 5 launch3rd journey to space of the Block 5 Falcon 9 core B10472nd Falcon 9 Block 5 to be expended45th SpaceX launch from CCAFS SLC-4010th SpaceX launch this year8th Falcon 9 launch this year5th SLC-40 launch this year12 days since last launch from SLC-40.
