Less than one hour until Falcon 9’s launch of the @SES_Satellites O3b mPOWER mission from Space Launch Complex 40 in Florida. The 89-minute window opens at 4:08 p.m. ET → spacex.com/launches

Stage 1 entry burn startup, stage 1 FTS has safed, and stage 1 entry burn shutdown.
Nominal entry burn.

SpaceX webcast is ending because the size of the payload adapter obstructs views of the payload. Payload deployment will be announced later on social media.
