US EditionWATCH IT AGAIN: SpaceX Launches MTG-S1 Mission From Florida Coast
- On July 1, 2025, SpaceX plans to launch the MTG-S1 satellite from Kennedy Space Center's LC-39A during a 150-minute window opening at 5:04 p.m. ET.
- The MTG-S1 satellite aims to deliver hyperspectral atmospheric data, using its UVN spectrometer to monitor air quality hourly and provide 15-minute regional coverage over Europe and North Africa.
- Space Launch Delta 45’s weather squadron forecasts only a 20% chance of favorable conditions on launch day, with booster B1085 flying its ninth mission to demonstrate reuse.
- The successful deployment of MTG-S1 around 35 minutes after liftoff, with booster B1085 landing on 'Just Read the Instructions' about 8.5 minutes post-launch, advances Europe's weather monitoring capabilities.
- Beyond orbit insertion, MTG-S1 will generate 3D atmospheric maps and near-real-time pollution data to enhance forecasts and support public health decisions across Europe and North Africa.
