A batch of 26 satellites for the Starlink mega-constellation - SpaceX's project for space-based Internet communication system.
Note: Payload identity is uncertain and to be confirmed, based on FCC documentation. SpaceX identifies the mission as "Commercial GTO 1". Dror-1 is a geostationary communication satellite built and developed by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI). It is intended to meet the satellite communication needs of Israel for the next 15 years. Dror-1 is comprised primarily of local Israeli technologies developed at IAI, including an advanced digital communication payload and “smartphone in space” capabilities, to provide communication agility throughout the satellite’s lifetime in space.
A batch of 28 satellites for the Starlink mega-constellation - SpaceX's project for space-based Internet communication system.
