    Launch Date: 7/20
    Launch Window: 5:00 PM EST
    Launch Site: SLC-40
    Booster Recovery: JRTI - success
    Booster: B1058.2
    Mass: 5-6 tonnes
    Orbit: GTO

    At 5-6 tonnes, it will be South Korea's first dedicated military satellite. Contracted by South Korea's DACA in 2014.

    If B1058.2 launches anytime before July 23rd, it will be the shortest turnaround time on a booster at around 6 to 7 weeks.

    Falcon 9 Block 5 | Anasis-II
    ANASIS 2 (KMilSatCom 1, URC-700K)

    Per SFN, this is “mid-July” from LC-39A.

    That is the Demo-2 booster! Wow. How long was it at sea? I mean the GPSIII booster is still out there, so not an insignificant amount of time...

    It came in to port yesterday.

    Meanwhile, SFN now lists this as a July 14th mission.

    Standing down for a possible second stage swap out(!). Anyone know what’s going on with this apparent rash of SpaceX delays?

    It's been almost entirely due to the more difficult Florida weather.

    30 minute delay due to weather. Propellant loading has begun.

    Another nominal success launch, separation, landing, second stage burn, and payload deploy.

    You mean enough buffer in the camera to deal with the expected video transmission loss of signal?

    Fantastic news that both fairings were caught! I’m sure we will see video of that soon.

    Made the landing look easy.
    Glad the landing camera can cope with the bright light and vibration better now.
    I look forward to the fairing catch video :)

    Yes exactly, buffer the data until you can reliably transmit it. I've been wondering why that wasn't a fix for the drop outs long ago
