The AMOS-17 satellite was successfully deployed to a Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO) 31 minutes after being launched by a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida, on 6 August 2019 at 23:23 UTC (19:23 EDT). Falcon 9’s first stage (Block 5 B1047) for the AMOS-17 mission previously supported the Telstar-19 VANTAGE mission in July 2018 and the Es’hail-2 mission in November 2018. Due to mission requirements, SpaceX did not attempt to land Falcon 9’s first stage after launch.
