The instantaneous launch window is at 10:39 a.m. and a backup opportunity is available on Friday, July 22 at 10:39 a.m.
The first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched NROL-87, NROL-85 and SARah-1. Following stage separation, Falcon 9’s first stage will return to Earth and land on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship stationed in the Pacific Ocean.
A live webcast of this mission will begin about five minutes prior to liftoff.
With the increase of many new rocket companies comes the increases of C02 emissions.
Gee, I guess humans have some impact on the environment. What to do?
