This morning we spotted a Falcon 9 booster rolling quickly towards SLC-40, potentially B1085-14, ahead of EchoStar XXV. Later @JerryPikePhoto captured ASOG coming back to drop off B1080-25 before heading out again to support EchoStar XXV @NASASpaceflight | http://nsf.live/spacecoast

On Tuesday, March 10 at 12:19 a.m. ET, SpaceX launched the EchoStar XXV mission to geosynchronous transfer orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

This was the 14th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously supported Crew-9, RRT-1, Firefly Blue Ghost Mission 1, Fram2, SXM-10, MTG-21, and seven Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage landed on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which was stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

F9/Echostar XXV: Taking a break from a steady stream of Starlink launches, SpaceX sent up an Echostar communications satellite late Monday; liftoff from pad 40 at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station came at 12:19pm EDT (0419 UTC); it was the 30th F9 launch so far this year but only the 6th non-Starlink flight

F9/Echostar XXV: 1st stage booster B1085 completed its 14th flight with an on-target touchdown on a SpaceX droneship; 38 seconds earlier, the F9 2nd stage completed the climb to an initial orbit; 5 minutes after a final upper stage engine firing at 12:45pm EDT (0445 UTC), the Echostar XXV satellite was expected to be released to complete the trip to geosynchronous orbit on its own

583. lądowanie boostera SpaceX.
146. lądowanie boostera SpaceX na ‘A Shortfall of Gravitas.’

W T+ 34 m 57 s satelita Echostar XXV został wyniesiony na GTO .
Jego operatorem jest DISH Network, spółka zależna Echostar.

Satelita telekomunikacyjny Echostar XXV został zbudowany na platformie satelitarnej Maxar (obecnie Lanteris Space Systems) 1300.
Firma Lanteris Space Systems, należy do Intuitive Machines.
Ma on masę ponad 6500 kg.
Satelita w momencie startu ma mniej więcej rozmiar kampera lub małego autobusu, a panele słoneczne po pełnym rozłożeniu na orbicie geostacjonarnej rozciągają się na ponad 30 metrów.

Zostanie on wyniesiony na orbitę geostacjonarną za pomocą własnego napędu.
Przez pierwsze kilka tygodni będzie on zawieszony nad 129° W, gdzie będą przeprowadzane testy sprzętu telekomunikacyjnego.

Następnie zostanie przeniesiony do punktu operacyjnego powyżej 110° W.
Satelita Echostar XXV ma świadczyć usługi komunikacyjne w paśmie Kᵤ przez co najmniej 15 lat.
Będzie on świadczył usługi telewizji DISH TV we wszystkich 50 stanach i Portoryko.

Echostar XXV  has been tracked in a 264 x 22015 km x 26.9 deg subsynchronous transfer orbit. The Falcon 9 upper stage made a perigee lowering burn and reentered at first perigee near 102W 10N at about 1130 UTC Mar 10.

Deorbiting upper stages on high orbit (geotransfer) launches is still regrettably rare, and I commend @SpaceX for doing so on this mission, avoiding a later uncontrolled large space junk reentry.

SpaceX launches direct television satellite for EchoStar
March 9, 2026 Will Robinson-Smith

(...) A little more than 8.5 minutes after liftoff, B1085 landed on the drone ship, ‘A Shortfall of Gravitas,’ positioned in the Atlantic Ocean. This was the 146th touchdown on this vessel and the 583rd booster landing to date for SpaceX.

The EchoStar 25 satellite deployed from the second stage of the Falcon 9 rocket nearly 33 minutes after liftoff. (...)

The satellite is built on Lanteris’ 1300 Series satellite bus, the basis for spacecraft, like NASA’s Psyche probe and Sirius XM’s SXM-10. Dish will use it as a direct broadcast satellite.

EchoStar-25 will operate in the 12.2-12.7 GHz for space-to-Earth communications and 17.3-17.8 GHz for Earth-to-space, according to a filing with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

This will be the most recent EchoStar satellite to be operated by its subsidiary, Dish, since EchoStar 23, which launched in March 2017. In May 2025, the company ordered the construction of EchoStar-26 from Lanteris, which is expected to launch in 2028.

In September 2025, EchoStar announced it was selling spectrum licenses to SpaceX that it had planned to use for its own direct to mobile service. The $17 billion sale, split evenly between cash and SpaceX stock is awaiting regulatory approval.

“We are disappointed that we were not able to continue with something we built over 17 years,” EchoStar’s CEO Charles Ergen said. “I think that we are also pleased that we have made our bet, and that is with SpaceX and Starlink

The sale will help advance SpaceX’s Direct to Cell Starlink service, recently rebranded to Starlink Mobile. (...)
