🚀 Live Now: SpaceX Launches Spanish Communications Satellite from Cape Canaveral

Watch live coverage from Cape Canaveral as SpaceX launches a Falcon 9 rocket carrying a Spanish communications satellite into a geosynchronous transfer orbit. Liftoff from Space Launch Complex 40 is scheduled during a four-hour window that opens at 9:30 p.m. EDT (0130 UTC) on Thursday, Oct. 23. It will be the 22nd and final flight of booster B1076. The first-stage will not be recovered as the mission requires the full performance of the vehicle.

The Spainsat Next Generation 2 (NG-2) satellite, manufactured by Airbus and Thales Alenia Space on behalf of Hisdesat, will eventually be stationed at 29 degrees East.

The mission will take an easterly trajectory on departure from Florida's Space Coast.

Our live coverage with commentary from Spaceflight Now's Will Robinson-Smith will start about one hour prior to launch.
