Making their fourth orbital launch of the year, the SpaceX team have conducted another Falcon 9 mission on Tuesday, deploying China’s AsiaSat-8 satellite into geosynchronous transfer orbit. The launch took place from Cape Canaveral, with a T-0 of 08:00 UTC – following a hold during the initial attempt at the opening of the window.
Falcon 9 v1.1/ASIASAT-8:
The AsiaSat-8 spacecraft was constructed by Space Systems/Loral, and carries 24 transponders operating in the Ku band of the electromagnetic spectrum with a bandwidth of 54 megahertz, along with a single Ka-band transponder. It is based on the LS-1300 bus.  Powered by twin solar arrays, each with four panels, the satellite’s communications systems can produce an output of 8.5 kilowatts.  AsiaSat-8 is the ninth satellite to be operated by China’s Asia Satellite Telecommunications Company, which was formed in 1988 and is based in Hong Kong.  AsiaSat-8 is intended to augment the older AsiaSat-7 spacecraft, and will be located in geostationary orbit at a longitude of 105.5 degrees East.  The satellite is designed for a fifteen year mission and will provide communications services to China, the Middle East, India and Southern Asia.
