A Falcon 9 rocket powered by a reused first stage booster rolled out Tuesday to pad 39A at NASA\u2019s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, a day before its scheduled liftoff with an Airbus-built communications satellite designed for television broadcasts over the Americas.<\/p>\n

Liftoff of the SES 11\/EchoStar 105 spacecraft is scheduled for 6:53 p.m. EDT (2253 GMT) Wednesday at the opening of a two-hour launch window.<\/p>\n

The 229-foot-tall (70-meter) Falcon 9 rocket will blast off with 1.7 million pounds of thrust from its nine Merlin 1D main engines to deliver the SES 11\/EchoStar 105 satellite to space on the way to an operational perch 22,300 miles (35,800 kilometers) over the equator.<\/p>\n

See our Mission Status Center for more details on the launch.<\/p>\n
