A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched the Intelsat Galaxy 31 and Galaxy 32 (G-31/G-32) geosynchronous communications satellites from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, on 12 November 2022, at 16:06 UTC (11:06 EST). Falcon 9’s first stage (B1051) previously supported thirteen missions: SXM-7, RADARSAT Constellation Mission, Demo-1 (Crew Dragon’s first demonstration mission) and ten Starlink missions. Due to mission requirements, Falcon 9’s first stage was not planned to be recovered on this mission.
