JCSAT-14 Technical Webcast

This is the technical webcast and will only include shots of the pad, rocket and our countdown net audio.

SpaceXs Falcon 9 rocket will deliver JCSAT-14, a commercial communications satellite for SKY Perfect JSAT Corporation, to a Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO). SKY Perfect JSAT is a leading satellite operator in the Asia-Pacific region and provides high-quality satellite communications to its customers using its fleet of 15 satellites. Following stage separation, the first stage of Falcon 9 will attempt an experimental landing on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship. Given this missions GTO destination, the first-stage will be subject to extreme velocities and re-entry heating, making a successful landing unlikely.
