Launch Date: November 22
Launch Window: 9:57pm EST (6:57pm PST, 02:57 UTC on the 21st) 2 hour window
Launch site: SLC-40, Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida
Core Booster Recovery: N/A
Booster: B1049.11 (will be expended)
Fairings: Reused likely
Mass: 4500 kg (9921 lbs.)
Orbit: GTO
Yearly Launch Number: 53rd
Booster B1049.11 will be expended as part of this launch. It will be launched without legs or grid fins. It will have a white interstage instead of the typical black one from a Block 5. The interstage is from B1052 Falcon Heavy side booster that was converted to a standard F9 booster.
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch the Eutelsat 10B communications satellite for Eutelsat. Based on the Spacebus Neo platform built by Thales Alenia Space, Eutelsat 10B will provide maritime and in-flight broadband, data, and video connectivity to customers in the Americas, the Atlantic Ocean, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia.
The payload was originally supposed to be launched on an Ariane 5. It is the last of the three Eutelsats (the Hotbirds were the other two) that moved from Ariane over to SpaceX for launches this year. The delay of the Ariane 6 rocket and potentially the war in Ukraine caused the switch.
