The launch was originally scheduled for Tuesday at 7:28 p.m., though the company ultimately announced it would be pushed back due to “unfavorable recovery weather conditions.”
This was the 18th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Ispace M1, CRS-27, SES 22, Amazonas-6, Bandwagon-1, and 12 Starlink missions.
