A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched a telecommunications satellite for Indonesian company, PT Telkom Satelit Indonesia (Telkomsat), a subsidiary of a state-owned telecommunication company, during a two-hour launch window. The satellite will operate at 113° East. The satellite was built on Thales Alenia Space’s Spacebus 4000B2 platform. The first stage booster landed on the droneship, ‘Just Read the Instructions,’ about 8.5 minutes after liftoff.
