SpaceX is targeting Monday, March 9 for a Falcon 9 launch of the EchoStar XXV mission to geosynchronous transfer orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The 149-minute launch window opens at 11:14 p.m. ET. If needed, a backup opportunity is available Tuesday, March 10 with the same window.

This will be the 14th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously supported Crew-9, RRT-1, Firefly Blue Ghost Mission 1, Fram2, SXM-10, MTG-21, and seven Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
