The company will also expend an aging Falcon 9 booster during a mission for the first time.
SpaceX announced that it will attempt to launch the Eutelsat 10B communications satellite around 9:57 pm EST on Tuesday, Nov. 22, after that launch was delayed on Nov. 21 "to allow for additional pre-flight checkouts." At the same time, SpaceX's next Cargo Dragon resupply mission, called CRS-26, to the International Space Station is on course to launch at around 3:54 pm EST on Nov. 22.
Standing down from tonight’s launch of the Eutelsat 10B mission to allow for additional pre-flight checkouts; now targeting tomorrow, November 22 at 9:57 p.m. ET for liftoff. Weather is currently 20% favorableHowever, as Teslarati points out, U.S. Space Launch Delta 45 forecasts only a 10 percent chance of favorable weather conditions for both launches, meaning it is unlikely they do go ahead. Eutelsat 10B has a backup window on Nov. 23, while CRS-26 could also launch on Nov. 26.
