Fastest turnaround for SpaceX on the same pad at 12 days 4hrs 28mins 0secs from BulgariaSat to Intelsat35e... and a new record turnaround for SLC-39A, which has now broken its fastest turnaround time twice this year.

Congrats to SpaceX and all!
Rocket sure looked naked without recovery hardware, which is just the norm now, despite already launching a few like these this year.
Also thought it was nice how John pointed out and thanked on the webcast the eastern range for deferring their maintenance by a day to allow this launch before stand down.
Now it is going to be boring without any SpaceX launches for over a month. We are spoiled now.

This was supposed to be my first SpaceX launch observed directly, due to the last second scrub on Sunday I missed that opportunity but with many more launches coming I hope I will be able to do it again. Nonetheless, I am very happy they were successful on the third try!
Congrats to SpaceX, Eastern Range, Intelsat and everybody involved! Thank you NSF for great coverage and allowing me to follow the launch while traveling!

Excellent coverage as always, congrats to the folks at SpaceX that spent their holiday weekend working on a rocket in order to have a successful flight today. What a performance too, should make for one very happy customer.

10 months ago Tory Bruno said, it typically takes 9 to 12 months for people to return to flight. I am really happy he was not right in this case, and that SpaceX launched 10 times in this time.
Congratulation!

Intelsat 35e Launches Successfully
Luxembourg, 5 July 2017 – Intelsat S.A. (NYSE: I), operator of the world’s first Globalized Network and leader in integrated satellite communications, announced the successful launch of the Intelsat 35e satellite, the fourth of the Intelsat EpicNG high throughput satellites. Intelsat 35e was launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 launch vehicle. Liftoff occurred at 7:38 pm EDT. The Intelsat 35e satellite separated from the rocket’s upper stage 32 minutes after launch, at 8:10 pm EDT, and signal acquisition has been confirmed.
Intelsat 35e launcher
Manufactured by Boeing and equipped with an advanced digital payload, Intelsat 35e will deliver high performance services in C- and Ku-band for wireless infrastructure, mobility, broadband, government and media customers in the Americas, the Caribbean, Europe and Africa. Intelsat 35e will be placed into service at 325.5° East where it replaces Intelsat 903, which will be redeployed to another Intelsat orbital location by year-end.
The Intelsat EpicNG fleet is designed to deliver more efficiency for satellite broadband service providers, providing improved performance and economics that allows customers to explore new applications and new business models to grow their businesses. Companies including Orange, INWI, Tele Greenland, Sonatel, Marlink, Speedcast, ETECSA and eProcess will be among the first to deploy services on the satellite once it is placed into service. Intelsat 35e also includes a tailored payload for direct-to-home (DTH) television services for Canal+, a leading provider of DTH services in the Caribbean.
“The successful launch of Intelsat 35e is a major milestone in our business plan for 2017, furthering the footprint and resilience of our Intelsat EpicNG infrastructure,” said Stephen Spengler, Chief Executive Officer, Intelsat. “With each Intelsat EpicNG launch, we advance our vision of creating a global, high performance for our customers that will unlock new growth opportunities in applications including mobility, wireless infrastructure and private data networks. As we further our innovations with respect to ground infrastructure and managed service offerings, like IntelsatOne Flex, we are transforming the role of satellite in the telecommunications landscape.”
