Hughes JUPITER 3 Mission
Hughes JUPITER 3 Mission
SpaceX is targeting Wednesday, July 26 for Falcon Heavy’s launch of the Hughes JUPITER 3 mission to a geosynchronous transfer orbit from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The 99-minute launch window opens at 11:04 p.m. ET (03:04 UTC on July 27. If needed, a backup launch opportunity is available on Thursday, July 27 with the same window.
Both of the side boosters on this mission previously supported USSF-44 and USSF-67. Following stage separation, Falcon Heavy’s two side boosters will land on SpaceX’s Landing Zones 1 and 2 (LZ-1 and LZ-2) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
A live webcast of this mission will begin about 15 minutes prior to liftoff.
Dang, I was ready to go outside and see this thing at night. Clear skies, too. Would have been a sight to see.
Me too! Then I remembered I’m on the wrong coast
@tech 52 Yeah I always read the description, if the launch is from florida I don’t care because I won’t get to see it 😅
There’s only one way a launch can go right!
Scrubs not RUDs!
We need a super heavy RUD, would be a sight to see.
@randomsanwhich uh, we kinda got that already
@Clever Girl starship yes, super heavy not yet
@randomsanwhichstarship failed to separate from booster 7 and both exploded
@randomsanwhich both the FTS on the booster and ship were detonated.
hopefully we will see the heaviest geostationary satellite launched into orbit tomorrow!
Damn, I was looking forward to this launch. But I’m ready for the next attempt!
I drove 2 hours for this and now have to drive back at 11
Wow, I was also looking for it too.
@TJ MartinezThat is completely on you
@TJ Martinez That’s unfortunate, but they would rather make people drive back home without seeing anything instead of losing possibly tens to hundreds of millions of dollars.
@tjmartinez1505 Perhaps you could book a room in the area, and enjoy some time at the beach before tomorrow’s launch??
Good that they go for 100% safe launch! Yields success whent hey do things right 🙂
I appreciate Aborts. To have an abort every once in a while gives confidence on so many different levels for everyone involved in them. Kudos
I just discovered this video and thought I’d missed the launch but it was aborted, which is good because now I can go outside to look for it tomorrow night. I live on the southeast coast of North Carolina where the shot will be visible if the night sky is clear, and I believe the weather forecast calls for a clear night.
Looking forward to a successful launch of the great Jupiter 3 Satellite tonight. Safe Travels, SpaceX and Hughes Jupiter 3 payload!
Space X 🇺🇸 forever!!
Such a close call! Love it tho 😘
