On Thursday, June 20 at 5:35 p.m. ET, SpaceX launched the new SES ASTRA 1P satellite mission into orbit. The satellite is a broadcasting satellite based on an electric Spacebus NEO satellite bus. This mission was initially decided to liftoff on June 18 but was scrubbed due to unfavorable weather in Florida. However, today’s launch window provided clean weather.
