On October 8 at 7:05 p.m. ET, a Falcon 9 launched the Intelsat G-33/G-34 mission to a geosynchronous transfer orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
Launch was delayed from October 5, scrubbed on October 6th by a helium leak and scrubbed again on October 7.
This was the 14th launch and landing of this booster, which previously supported the launch of GPS III-3, Turksat 5A, Transporter-2, and 10 Starlink missions.
Following stage separation, the Falcon 9 booster landed on SpaceX’s drone ship A Shortfall Of Gravitas positioned in the Atlantic Ocean.
