Headed to Cape Canaveral tomorrow for first @SpaceX geostationary satellite launch.
Will be toughest mission to date. Requires coast + upper stage restart + going to 80,000 km altitude (~1/4 way to moon).
QuoteWill be toughest mission to date. Requires coast + upper stage restart + going to 80,000 km altitude (~1/4 way to moon).Looks like the apogee is going to be 80,000 km. I'd known that SES-8 was being sent to a super-GTO orbit, but was the apogee known before this?
SES posted a few pictures of the satellite arriving at the Cape: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.677725285592988.1073741840.257596920939162&type=1
