Posted: Sun, Sep 14, 2025, 4:07 AM ET (0807 GMT)
It took four tries, but a Falcon 9 finally launched an Indonesian communications satellite Thursday night. The Falcon 9 lifted off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, at 9:56 pm EDT (0156 GMT Friday). It placed the Nusantara Lima satellite into a geostationary transfer orbit about a half-hour later. The launch was originally scheduled for Monday but scrubbed because of weather, which also postponed a Tuesday launch attempt. SpaceX called off a Wednesday launch for undisclosed reasons. Nusantara Lima, a Boeing 702MP spacecraft, will be used by Indonesian operator PSN to provide broadband services from 113 degrees east in GEO.
