If it's not then SAOCOM will certainly be delayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocM Posted September 26, 2020 Author Share Posted September 26, 2020 (edited) One more try at a launch triple-header https://www.mynews13.com/fl/orlando/space/2020/09/25/space-coast-to-see-series-of-launches Quote 3 Rockets in 3 Days Poised to Blast Off From Florida The first of the launches is a whopper of a rocket — a United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy is poised and ready to blast off early Sunday morning. This is one of the U.S.'s largest rockets and is sure to look dramatic if it goes up as scheduled during the overnight hours. On top of ULA’s most powerful vehicle will be an intelligence-gathering spy satellite [NROL-44] for the National Reconnaissance Office. There is an hour-long window for the launch, which opens at 12:10 a.m. EDT Sunday. That launch is scheduled to take off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station..... > Then on Monday morning, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket is scheduled to launch from Kennedy Space Center. That rocket will be carrying 60 Starlink internet satellites and is set to lift off at 10:22 a.m. EDT. The third launch in three days, another SpaceX Falcon 9, is scheduled to launch with a U.S. Space Force GPS satellite [GPS 3 SV04]. That launch is scheduled to take place at 9:55 p.m. EDT Tuesday. > Sounds like the Delta IV Heavy NROL-44 payload is Advanced Orion 10/Mentor 8, a geostationary signals intelligence (SIGINT) satellite. These are 5-6 tonnes with a 100 meter wide deployable dish antenna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
