KENNEDY SPACE CENTER - FEBRUARY 21 2019

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched from Cape Canaveral on Thursday February 21st,
carrying a payload of three very different spacecraft: an Indonesian
telecommunications satellite, an experimental spacecraft for the US
military and the first commercial mission
to attempt a landing on the Moon. Falcon lifted off from Space Launch
Complex 40 (SLC-40) at the opening of a 32-minute window at 20:45
Eastern Time (01:45 UTC on Friday).

The primary payload for Thursday’s launch was the Indonesian Nusantara
Satu, a high-throughput communications satellite that will be operated
by Indonesia’s PT Pasifik Satelit Nusantara (PSN). However, much
attention in the build up to launch has been paid
to the Israeli Beresheet spacecraft that is piggy-backing on the Falcon
9 launch.  Beresheet will attempt to become the first Israeli
spacecraft, and the first privately-operated mission, to land on the
Moon. The third satellite aboard Thursday’s launch is
S5, a space situational awareness demonstrator for the US Air Force
Research Laboratory which will be deployed by Nusantara Satu at a later
date.

Deployments occurred at approximately 33 and 44 minutes after liftoff.

Falcon 9’s first stage for the Nusantara Satu mission previously
supported the Iridium-7 mission in July 2018 and the SAOCOM 1A mission
in October 2018. Following stage separation, SpaceX landed Falcon 9’s first stage on the “Of Course I Still Love You”
droneship, which was stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
