Space X Launch – 14.56hrs Today, 3rd January

From Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida at 14.56hrs, SpaceX plans Falcon 9’s launch of the Transporter-6 mission to low-Earth orbit.

The Transporter-6 mission will launch EOS SAT-1, the first of seven agriculture-focused satellites for the company’s new constellation. EOS SAT-1 will be the last of the 114 satellites to deploy during the Transporter-6 mission, according to a SpaceX mission timeline.

EOS SAT-1 is designed to scrutinize 386,000 miles (1 million square kilometers) daily using 11 bands of light. Examining the crop’s health in this way is expected to allow farmers to better customize their care for the crops, to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, energy consumption and water usage, among other benefits.

The Transporter series of missions are “dedicated rideshares,” meaning that they feature what may be dozens of small satellites flying to space on a single Falcon 9 rocket. SpaceX has not confirmed the full manifest of Transporter-6 on its website. The first mission of the series, Transporter-1, launched a record 143 satellites on 24th January, 2021.

You can watch the live launch 10 minutes prior to lift off – HERE.
