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.

At the time of publishing, this is a LIVE stream. The Falcon 9 has successfully launched with 60 Starlink satellites from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

SpaceX’s Dragon capsules have been gradually improved for reuse. Structural elements and internal components are being refurbished between flights, while the heat shield is replaced for each new mission.

The reuse of Falcon 9 not only included rebuilding the engines; Two metal parts that have the function of protecting the satellite during the journey to its final destination were also reused, the approximate cost of these parts is about 6 million dollars, according to information provided by SpaceX and Musk.
