Tomorrow, SpaceX will launch its 15th mission of 2017, delivering the Echostar 105/SES-11 satellite to orbit. The Falcon 9’s first stage is a “flight proven”-or recycled-rocket that was first launched in February earlier this year. Liftoff is scheduled for 6:53pm on Wednesday, October 11; the first stage will attempt a landing on the drone ship “Of Course I Still Love You” in the Atlantic. The weather forecast indicates partly cloudy skies, cooler temperatures in the mid-80s or upper-70s, and a light breeze.
