At 5:28 p.m. SpaceX launched the Optus-X satellite for Australian telecommunication company, Optus. The rocket lifted off from Kennedy Space Center's Pad 39A, traveling on a due east trajectory. With clouds in the area, most on the Space Coast only saw a short glow before the rocket disappeared.

Koreasat-6A will replace the existing Koreasat-6 satellite and provide television broadcasts across South Korea. It will be stationed in geostationary orbit, meaning the satellite will move at the Earth's rotational speed, allowing it to stay fixed above a specific point on the surface.
