Falcon 9 • Koreasat-6A

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched the Koreasat-6A on behalf of KT SAT Corporation Ltd., a satellite provider in South Korea. Koreasat-6A will replace the current Koreasat-6 satellite delivering television broadcasts to South Korea. It will be positioned in geostationary orbit at 116 degrees East. The satellite also includes a navigation payload to enhance existing satellite navigation systems. A little less than eight minutes after liftoff, the first stage booster, making its 23rd flight, returned to Florida for a touchdown at Landing Zone 1 (LZ-1) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
