The Falcon 9 successfully launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station to MEO on July 22, carrying two SES communication satellites — O3b mPOWER 9 and 10. Shortly after launch, the rocket’s first stage landed on the droneship in the Atlantic Ocean, marking the sixth successful launch for SpaceX.
SpaceX’s 89th Falcon launch of 2025 saw the Falcon 9’s second stage deploying the satellites into MEO. The launch was briefly delayed but resulted in a successful deployment, expanding SES’s constellation.
The SES O3b mPOWER constellation is set to reach 100 satellites, with today’s launch adding to the existing fleet. These satellites provide high-capacity internet services globally, particularly in remote areas and large facilities.
This successful mission showcases SpaceX’s commitment to reliable satellite launches and its contribution to the space infrastructure industry.
