SpaceX continued his busyness 2025 tonight (11 September), an Indonesian telecommunications company sent a satellite over Earth.
A Falcon 9 rocket, which takes the Nusantara Lima satellite, was removed from the Cape Canveral Space Force Station in Florida at 9:56 pm from EDT (12 September 0156 GMT)., After staying on the ground for three days from bad weather.
The first phase of the rocket returned to Earth according to the plan about 8.5 minutes, touching the SpaceX drone ship “A deficiency of gravitas”, which was stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
According to the SpaceX mission description, the 23rd launch and landing for this special booster (which is known by the designation 1078). This is seven lower than the company’s reflite record, which was set at the launch of SpaceX’s Starlink Internet satellites later last month.

The upper platform of Falcon 9, meanwhile, continued to carry Nusantara Lima Skyword. The satellite was posted in the geosicronous transfer orbit at the schedule 27.5 minutes after the lift.
The satellite, built by Boeing, will set up a shop in 22,236 miles (35,785 km) Geosinkronus Orbit (GEO) above the Earth. Orbital speed corresponds to the rotational speed of the Earth at that height, allowing the spacecraft to “hover” on a patch of the planet. Therefore GEO is a popular class for communication, weather and reconnaissance spacecraft.
Nusantara Lima is expected to start work in 2026 after completing a series of checkouts. Indonesia’s first satellite-based private telecommunication company PT Passific Sattlet Nusantra (PSN) will use spacecraft for beam service for customers in 17,000 islands in Indonesia as well as neighboring countries.
“Indonesia was one of the first nations to adopt satellite communications to connect its citizens,” PSN Group CEO Adi Rehman Edivoso said in a Boeing statement last month, and Nusantara Lima continued the legacy. “
“This satellite will empower communities, schools and businesses, which had never been reliable before,” Edivoso said. Nusantara Lima, “with a capacity of more than 160 GBPS, will strengthen our ability to provide national capacity for our nation[al] Need. Our partnership with Boeing and our global technology partners is about ensuring that no one is left behind as Indonesia grows. ,
Tonight’s launch was the 114th Falcon 9 Mission of 2025. More than 70% of these flights are dedicated to the manufacture of Starlink Megoconstalation in the Earth’s orbit, including more than 8,300 operating satellites and is growing at all times.
SpaceX has also launched four other missions so far this year. They were the test flights of its next generation Starship Megocket, which is developing to help Mars settling humanity among other goals. The most recent starship launched on 26 August and according to SpaceX, was a complete success.
