While neither company has released details, an advisory by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) shows that the Optus-X satellite is set to liftoff atop a Falcon 9 during a window open from from 4:29-6:57 p.m. EST. The launch will be from Cape Canaveral Space Launch Complex 40, and travel on a due-east trajectory.

SpaceX’s Starship rocket will be launched for a sixth test flight next week, the latest experiment by the Elon Musk-owned aerospace firm to create reusable spacecraft after a previous test resulted in a “seminal moment” for the company.

The Falcon 9 will launch the NSIL GSAT-N2 mission from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Monday. SpaceX said the rocket will send an Indian Space Research Organisation (IRSO) communications satellite into orbit.

At 5:28 p.m. SpaceX launched the Optus-X satellite for Australian telecommunication company, Optus. The rocket lifted off from Kennedy Space Center's Pad 39A, traveling on a due east trajectory. With clouds in the area, most on the Space Coast only saw a short glow before the rocket disappeared.

The GSAT-N2 satellite launch by ISRO aboard SpaceX's Falcon 9 aims to improve broadband services in remote India and provide in-flight internet. Scheduled for midnight, the $60-$70 million mission signifies advancements in space technology and international collaboration.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is set to launch its GSAT-N2 communication satellite aboard a SpaceX Falcon-9 rocket from Cape Canaveral on November 18, 2024. This marks ISRO's first launch with SpaceX and aims to bolster broadband services and in-flight connectivity across India with the satellite's 48 Gbps data transmission capacity.
