Past Launch: SXM-8

Updated: Jun 6, 2021

SpaceX launched the SXM-8 mission for Sirus XM at 12:26 am EDT on Sunday, June 6. If they wouldn't be able to launch at that time, there was a 1 hr, 59 min window. If they wouldn't be able to launch during that time, there was a backup opportunity on Monday with the same times. The 45th Weather Squadron predicted a 70% chance of favorable weather with the primary concerns of Debris Cloud and Anvil Cloud. This mission followed the SXM-7 mission last year which failed. The rocket worked perfectly but there was an anomaly with the satellite about 6 weeks after launch.

Also, for a special treat, here is a SpaceX video from a few months ago with their first 100 successful launches (more now) and a video named "How not to Land an Orbital Rocket Booster".
