Koreański satelita wyniesiony na orbitę 20.07. o 21:30 z Cape Canaveral wystartowała RN Falcon-9R. Wyniosła ona na orbitę GTO południowokoreańskiego satelitę telekomunikacyjnego Anasis II (KMilSatCom 1, URC-700K). Pierwszy stopień RN (B1058.2) wylądował na barce ASDS JRTI na Atlantyku. Po raz pierwszy udało się odzyskać w sieci statków odbiorczych obie połówki osłony aerodynamicznej.

The rocket lifted off at 5:30 p.m. Eastern from Cape Canaveral, Florida,
Less than nine minutes after liftoff the Falcon 9’s first stage landed on the “Just Read the Instructions” droneship stationed in the Atlantic Ocean 350 miles east of the launch site.
The payload separated and deployed about 32 minutes after liftoff.
The Anasis-2 telecommunications satellite will operate in geostationary Earth orbit.
This was SpaceX’s 12th launch this year, the 90th flight of a Falcon 9 and the 57th landing of the rocket’s first stage. The booster used in this mission was previously flown in May when it launched Crew Dragon to the International Space Station with NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley on board.
SpaceX’s customer for this launch was Lockheed Martin on behalf of the government of South Korea. The Anasis-2 satellite was manufactured in France by Airbus Defence and Space as part of an offset obligation related to a $7 billion sale of U.S. F-35 fighter jets to South Korea in 2014. Under the terms of the deal, F-35 manufacturer Lockheed Martin agreed to procure a telecommunications satellite for South Korea.
The name Anasis-2 is for Army/Navy/Air Force Satellite Information System. The spacecraft was shipped in mid-June from an Airbus facility in Toulouse to Cape Canaveral. The company built the Anasis-2 with the Eurostar E3000 satellite bus.

(...) Aboard today’s mission was South Korea’s first secure military communications satellite, variously known as ANASIS-II or K-MILSAT-1. Reportedly carrying a launch mass between 9,900 pounds (4,500 kg) and 13,200 pounds (6,000 kg), ANASIS-II is built upon Airbus’ EuroStar-3000 satellite “bus” architecture and is being flown on behalf of the Korean Agency for Defense Development (ADD). Delivered to Cape Canaveral last month from prime contractor Airbus in Toulouse, France, the EuroStar-3000 boasts high flexibility, enhanced payload accommodations, propulsion options ranging from chemical to all-electric and has been described as “a reference for challenging high-power missions”. Originally earmarked for development by Lockheed Martin, its construction was subcontracted out to Airbus in 2016, due to difficulties pertaining to cost.
When it enters operational service, ANASIS-II will join over 50 EuroStar-3000 satellites in geostationary orbit. These powerful satellites have previously flown aboard Russian Proton-M and Zenit boosters, Europe’s Ariane 5, the Japanese H-IIA and on three occasions aboard SpaceX Falcon 9 vehicles since March 2017. They carry dual solar arrays for electrical power provision, with a total wing span of up to 150 feet (45 meters), together with 50-90 Ku-band and C-band transponders. (...)

The first stage shut down and separated from the Falcon 9’s second stage about two-and-a-half minutes after liftoff, beginning maneuvers to precisely touch down on SpaceX’s floating landing platform around 400 miles (645 kilometers) east of Cape Canaveral. The reusable first stage landed on target aboard the drone ship “Just Read The Instructions,” ready for return to Florida’s Space Coast for another flight.
The booster used on Monday’s launch set a record for the quickest turnaround time between flights of an orbital-class rocket stage at 51 days. The shortest span between launches of the same Falcon 9 booster was previously 62 days, which SpaceX achieved with a Feb. 17 mission.
NASA achieved a 54-day turnaround time between two launches of the space shuttle Atlantis in late 1985, a record never again matched during the 30-year-long shuttle program. The time elapsed between Atlantis’s landing and next launch was 50 days.
SpaceX may eclipse its rocket turnaround time record again in the coming weeks, with more missions on the company’s jam-packed launch schedule, all using reused rocket stages. The next brand new Falcon 9 booster is not expected to fly before late September. (...)
Further details about the Anasis 2 satellite are shrouded in secrecy at the wishes of the the spacecraft’s owner — the South Korean government. SpaceX did not broadcast live video of the Anasis 2 satellite deploying from the Falcon 9 rocket, citing a request from its customer.

Credit: Airbus Defense and SpaceElon Musk, SpaceX’s founder and CEO, tweeted later Monday that the company had successfully recovered both halves of the Falcon 9 rocket’s payload fairing using two boats stationed offshore in the Atlantic Ocean.
The twin fairing recovery vessels — named “Ms. Tree” and “Ms. Chief” — were dispatched to positions nearly 500 miles (800 kilometers) east of Cape Canaveral. Both ships are fitted with giant nets to try to catch the fairing halves, which descend under parachutes.
The Falcon 9 released the clamshell-like payload fairing around three-and-a-half minutes after liftoff Monday, once the rocket flew above the dense, lower layers of the atmosphere. The shroud protected the Anasis 2 satellite during the rocket’s initial climb away from Florida.
The successful fairing recovery marked the first time SpaceX achieved a double catch of both fairing halves on the same mission. On previous flights, SpaceX has either caught just one of the fairing shells, or retrieved them after splashing down in the ocean. (...)
