Arcturus Flight 2 Mission (LV0020)
ASE is targeting March 19th for the launch of Arcturus 1.2 from Space Launch Complex 3 on the West Coast. This mission will bring fifteen Arcturus internet satellites to Low Earth Orbit to expand the Arcturus constellation. The Arcturus constellation intends to provide high quality, high speed & low latency internet connection to the public, or places which previously had poor/unreliable connection.
The booster flying on this mission will be B5103 which is brand new (GPS III SV02’s booster was planned, but the condition is too poor to refly.) and will attempt an RTLS landing at LZ-2.
The instantaneous - thirteen minute - launch window opens at 6:05 PM MDT.
