Launch date:
Communications satellite for EchoStar Corp. EchoStar XXIII, based on a spare platform from the cancelled CMBStar 1 satellite program, will provide direct-to-home television broadcast services over Brazil. There was no attempt at a first-stage recovery so this rocket did not have landing legs or grid fins.
