) Introduction(
) SpaceX Set to Launch Two European Navigation Satellites TonightSpaceX is scheduled to launch two European navigation satellites on September 17 at 6:50 p.m. EDT from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The launch will be broadcast live on SpaceX's X account, starting about 15 minutes before liftoff. Weather conditions are being monitored, and a backup launch opportunity is available on September 18 at the same time if needed. The Falcon 9 rocket's first stage is planned to return to Earth, landing on the droneship 'Just Read the Instructions' approximately 8.5 minutes after launch, marking the 22nd liftoff and landing for this booster. The upper stage will deploy the two Galileo satellites into medium Earth orbit around 3.5 hours after launch. This mission follows a previous Galileo launch in April, where the first stage did not attempt a landing. SpaceX has since made design and operational changes to enable a safe recovery and reuse of the booster for this mission.
