(That’s Sunday morning, I have to keep reminding my self about that… its like a late Saturday night launch.)
Launching from Cape Canaveral SLC-40, Space X will be putting JCSAT-16 a geostationary communications satellite into orbit. JCSAT-16 is operated by the JSAT Corporation and will be providing Ku and Ka band services. The launch vehicle will be a Falcon 9 Full Thrust and after the launch a first stage recovery will be attempted on “Of Course I Still Love You” at sea.
