Launch Date: June 19
Launch Window: 12:25am EDT (9:25pm PDT on the 18th, 04:25 UTC)
Launch site: SLC-40, Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida
Core Booster Recovery: ASDS-JRTI
Booster: B1061-9
Fairings: Unknown
Mass: 700 kg + ??
Orbit: LEO 1,413 kilometers for Globalstar
Yearly Launch Number: 24th
Since Grendal is on vacation, and this launch is apparently the next one after today's Nilesat, I'm creating a new thread for it. This payload came out of the blue since it wasn't originally on SpaceX's launch manifest. Rumor is that the primary payload is a secret government launch, and the Globalstar is along for the ride. The primary mission could even be the Zuma replacement (shhh, you didn't hear that here).
