Bandwagon-5 Dedicated Mid-inclination
Jellyfish on the way to the Bahamas
SpaceX will launch the Bandwagon -5 on a Falcon 9 on Pad 40 from Cape Canaveral Space force station NET than 6:30 AM. B1085 will head out of the space coast to the southeast and then land on the drone ship A Short Fall of Gravitas stationed in the Bahamas awaiting, B1085 for its 19th flight and landing. If you are anywhere in the southeast United States there is a possibility of a brilliant SpaceX Jellyfish in the predawn skies.
Aboard this flight are 22 satellites, one of which is a Starfall payload that will test re-entry payloads to develop the technology of on orbit manufacturing as well as being able to quickly return experiments from the ISS and future private space stations! Right now it takes the next cargo or crew spacecraft to return it home every three to six months. This will revolutionize the microgravity economy.
Excitement Guaranteed!
