Falcon 9 set to loft SiriusXM SXM-11 satellite into geosynchronous transfer orbit tonight

SpaceX aims to launch a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral tonight (June 28) within a four-hour window opening at 10:25 p.m. EDT, delivering the SiriusXM SXM-11 satellite (about 15,400 pounds) to a geosynchronous transfer orbit; deployment is scheduled roughly 34.5 minutes after liftoff, with the first stage expected to land on the drone ship A Shortfall of Gravitas about 8.5 minutes later (booster B1085 in its 17th flight). Live coverage starts ~15 minutes before liftoff.
