SpaceX has launched the SES-22 communications satellite to geostationary transfer orbit on the 27th Falcon 9 launch of 2022. The launch occurred on Wednesday, June 29, at 5:04 PM EDT (21:04 UTC). This was the beginning of a two-hour and 10-minute launch window from Launch Complex 40 at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
The Falcon 9, booster 1073, launched on an eastbound trajectory in the usual flight path for satellites launching to a geostationary transfer orbit from Florida. The first stage landed on the drone ship A Shortfall of Gravitas in the Atlantic, while the fairing halves are to be retrieved by the support ship Doug.
