LIVE THREAD: SpaceX Launch of SES-9 6:47pm EST
SpaceX website ^ | 1/25/16 | SpaceX

Posted on 02/25/2016 3:29:02 PM PST by hoagy62

Today is the 2nd attempt to launch the Falcon 9/SES-9 satellite into geosynchronous orbit. The launch was postponed from yesterday due to weather. At this time, there is an 80% chance of favorable weather.

If all goes well, the Falcon 9 first stage will also attempt to land on one of SpaceX's robotic barges out in the Atlantic. If successful, this will be the first time the first stage lands on the barge.
