SpaceX is targeting launch of the Merah Putih satellite to a Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO) from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida. The two-hour launch window opens on Tuesday, August 7 at 1:18 a.m. EDT, or 5:18 UTC. The satellite will be deployed approximately 32 minutes after liftoff.
A two-hour backup launch window opens on Wednesday, August 8 at 1:18 a.m. EDT, or 5:18 UTC.
Falcon 9’s first stage for the Merah Putih mission previously supported the Bangabandhu Satellite-1 mission in May 2018. Following stage separation, SpaceX will attempt to land Falcon 9’s first stage on the “Of Course I Still Love You” droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

SpaceX launched the new, optimized-for-reuse Block 5 variant of its Falcon 9 rocket for the first time, The Verge reported. Tuesday’s launch of Merah Putih is scheduled for a two-hour window opening at 05:18 UTC.

Elon Musk’s corporation SpaceX will keep up its impressive launch pace as the company reuses its first Block 5 Falcon 9 booster. On Tuesday, the liftoff scheduled from Space Launch Complex 40 at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.

According to NASA Space Flight, the epic satellite rideshare was coordinated and brokered by Spaceflight Industries — a company dedicated to finding launch “real estate” for small satellites that need to get into space. Following launch, the used Falcon 9 booster will attempt to perform another landing on one of SpaceX’s drone ships in the Atlantic.

On Tuesday evening, SpaceX will continue its tradition and broadcast the launch of its Falcon 9 rocket live. The webcast should begin about 15 minutes before the launch window opens.
