SpaceX to Launch Final SES O3b mPOWER Satellites, Completing Global Connectivity Network
  • SpaceX is set to launch the last three SES-owned O3b mPOWER satellites aboard a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral, targeting Space Launch Complex 40.

  • After stage separation, the Falcon 9 first stage is expected to touch down on the drone ship A Shortfall of Gravitas in the Atlantic.

  • SES describes the O3b mPOWER system as a global connectivity standard for mobility, government, enterprise, and cloud customers, with the completion of the MEO constellation as a key milestone in its leadership and innovation roadmap.

  • The launch window for the O3b mPOWER-F mission runs from mid-afternoon to early evening, with a potential backup attempt the following Monday if scrubbed.

  • The mission uses Falcon 9 booster B1080, making its 29th flight, with a history of both crewed and uncrewed missions including Ax-2, Euclid, Ax-3, CRS-30, SES ASTRA 1P, NG-21, and multiple Starlink deployments.

  • The three final satellites will join 10 existing O3b mPOWER satellites in MEO, finalizing SES’s O3b mPOWER network and reinforcing its global connectivity leadership.
