  • F9: KoteaSat-5A commsat

    A 3,500kg commsat for South Korea.

    One of the last few of launches from LC-39A before it starts getting ready for Falcon Heavy #1.

    Other KSC launches will move to LC-40, the pad damaged by fire in the AMOS-6 accident (which SpaceX and NASA are still exploring the cause of; some strange, unexpected physics going on wrt solid oxygen.)

    The KoreaSat static fire was successful, so now,

    "Chilly with mostly clear skies" for SpaceX's 3:34pm ET Mon. launch of F9, Koreasat-5A from KSC. <10% chance of weather violation.
