🚀 SpaceX is preparing to launch the latest O3b mPOWER satellites for SES
On September 13, SpaceX plans to launch three O3b mPOWER satellites — F11, F12, and F13 — on a Falcon 9.
📍 Launch — from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral.
🕐 The planned launch window opens at 14:49 EDT / 18:49 UTC, i.e., about 21:49 in Kyiv.
📅 Backup date — September 14, if the launch is postponed.
This mission is meant to complete the initial deployment of the O3b mPOWER constellation of 13 satellites into medium Earth orbit (MEO). SES’s system is designed for high-speed satellite communications with low latency.
🔎 And what does this mean for
$SPCXB ?
It’s important not to mix up the companies here. SES is the operator and the customer of the satellite system, Boeing is the manufacturer of the satellites, and SpaceX is the provider of the Falcon 9 launch.
Therefore, the launch is not a direct financial event for SES because of
$SPCXB . For SpaceX, this is another commercial mission that demonstrates its role in launching telecommunications infrastructure.
But for the owners of
$SPCXB , it’s interesting as another example of SpaceX’s scalable commercial business: the company continues to carry out launches for major satellite operators and other customers.
