Galaxy 31 and Galaxy 32
Success
NOV 12202216:06:00 UTCGalaxy 31 and Galaxy 32 were built by Maxar Technologies as part of Intelsat's C-band spectrum-clearing programme. Their combined mass of 6,600 kg (14,600 lb) prompted Intelsat to pay SpaceX an additional fee to devote all of the Falcon 9's propellant to reaching a higher orbit than the standard sub-synchronous delivery profile; the pair reached a supersynchronous geostationary transfer orbit of 283 km x 58,433 km inclined at 24.2.
B1051 was deliberately expended, the first Falcon 9 first stage to be intentionally discarded since B1046 in January 2020.
