Update on #Falcon9 #Hispasat launch: SpaceX did request early Thursday for the range but has not yet been approved, according to Tim Dunn, NASA launch director. Mentioned during #GOESS pre-launch conference.
Col. Walt Jackim, vice commander of the 45th Space Wing, says at a 45th Space Congress talk a goal for the Eastern Range is to perform two launches in 24 hours. That could happen this week, with Falcon 9/Hispasat 30W-6 and Atlas 5/GOES-S.Jackim said later a final decision hasn’t been made yet, but he seemed open to doing so various technical, personnel, and other issues can be worked out.
The launch of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral with a Spanish communications satellite is expected to slip after the liftoff of a United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 booster Thursday with a US weather observatory.

Hispasat 30W-6 satellite to be launched tonight from Cape CanaveralMarch 5, 2018The satellite will be put into space by a SpaceX Falcon 9 launcher from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, after the fairing’s pressurization system incident was solved.The launch is scheduled for 06:34 Spanish time.MADRID, 5 March 2018. Tonight, HISPASAT is targeting launch of its new communications satellite, Hispasat 30W-6 (H30W-6), from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The launch is scheduled for 06:34 Spanish time (00:34h on 6, in Florida), after the fairing’s pressurization system incident was solved.The launch vehicle responsible for putting H30W-6 into its transfer orbit will be SpaceX's Falcon 9. From there, the satellite will move towards the geostationary orbit where, for a few weeks, the tests established to make sure it is working properly after the launch will be carried out. Once completed, the satellite will be placed at its final orbital position, 30º West, where it will replace and broaden the capacity of Hispasat 30W-4.Hispasat 30W-6 was manufactured by Space Systems Loral in Palo Alto (California) and involved the significant participation of the Spanish aerospace industry.HISPASAT's new satellite offers improved coverage and services that increase the operator's offer in C and Ku bands, as well as new connectivity solutions in Ka band that will enable broadband Internet access in rural areas. As such, Hispasat 30W-6 will contribute to the reduction of the digital divide in Latin America, the Iberian Peninsula and North Africa, promote the distribution of audiovisual content in Latin America and provide connectivity in high-speed rail or maritime services in the Caribbean and Mediterranean.Streaming the launchThe launch can be streamed live on the HISPASAT and HISPAMAR webpages.About HISPASATHISPASAT is comprised of companies that have a presence in Spain as well as in Latin America, where its Brazilian affiliate HISPAMAR is based.
