Built on the LS-1300 bus by SSL, JCSAT-14 will replace JCSAT 2A in geostationary orbit. Positioned at 154 degrees east, the satellite will provide high speed connectivity for maritime, aviation and resource exploration in Asia, Russia, Oceania and the Pacific. The craft contains 26 C and 18 Ku-band transponders, which are powered by 2 solar arrays for its 15 year lifetime.
The Full Thrust variants first stage includes all systems necessary for an operational re-use of stages while the second stage is operated as an expendable rocket stage.
See DetailsThe first stage of the Falcon 9 landed on the ASDS, OCISLY, stationed of the east coast.
Result: Successful Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship landing at Of Course I Still Love You.Space Exploration Technologies Corp., known as SpaceX, is an American aerospace manufacturer and space transport services company headquartered in Hawthorne, California. It was founded in 2002 by entrepreneur Elon Musk with the goal of reducing space transportation costs and enabling the colonization of Mars.
