The first Block 5 Falcon 9 completed a static fire test at Launch Complex 39A on Friday evening, although SpaceX appeared to waiting on the results of a data review before confirming the path to launch. On Monday, SpaceX confirmed they were re-scheduling the launch to May 10. The vehicle – notably including core 1046, the first Block 5 first stage – will launch the Bangabandhu-1 satellite into a geostationary transfer orbit (GTO). This mission will be the first for 39A since the Falcon Heavy demo flight on February 6, 2018.
