Описание: Watch live coverage as a Falcon 9 rocket launches carrying the Meteosat Third Generation Sounder (MTG-S1) satellite on behalf of the European Oganisation for the Exploration of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT). The satellite will be deployed into a geosynchronous transfer orbit about 35 minutes after launch.

Liftoff from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center is scheduled for 5:04 p.m. EDT (2104 UTC) on Tuesday, July 1, 2025. The first-stage booster, making its 9th flight, will land on SpaceX's drone ship 'Just Read the Instructions', stationed in the Atlantic Ocean, about 8.5 minutes after liftoff.

The mission will take an easterly trajectory on departure from Florida's Space Coast. The satellite also carries the Copernicus Sentinel-4 instrument, provided by the European Commission. The mission is being coordinated and managed by the European Space Agency.

Commentary by Spaceflight Now's Will Robinson-Smith will be provided starting approximately 90 minutes prior to liftoff.
