SpaceX launched an Intelsat communications satellite with a NASA hosted payload April 7. A Falcon 9 lifted off at 12:30 am EDT (0430 GMT) from Cape Canaveral and placed the Intelsat 40e satellite into a geostationary transfer orbit about a half-hour later. The Maxar-built satellite will operate from 91 degrees west in GEO, providing Ku- and Ka-band communications services. Intelsat 40e also hosts TEMPO, a NASA payload to measure air pollution across much of North America.
