Falcon 9 launches final three O3b mPOWER satellites

A SpaceX Falcon 9 launches the final three Boeing-built O3b mPOWER spacecraft from Cape Canaveral, completing the 13-satellite constellation's launch campaign.

SpaceX launched O3b mPOWER satellites F11, F12 and F13 for SES from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Boeing manufactured the software-defined spacecraft in El Segundo, California. The successful launch completes deployment of the initial 13-satellite constellation, while the three new spacecraft must still raise orbit and complete initialization before SES expects them to enter service in mid-2027.
