Falcon 9 carried a satellite shared by two operators: AsiaSat marketed half of its 28 transponders as AsiaSat 6 and Thaicom marketed the other half as Thaicom 7. The launch slipped from 26 August to 7 September while SpaceX reviewed the 22 August loss of its Falcon 9R Dev1 test prototype in Texas, a failure investigators traced to a sensor fault.
