It previously launched O3b mPOWER, OneWeb 2, Intelsat 40e, Maxar 2, Turksat-6A, Eutelsat 36X, Ovzon-3, CRS-26, and eight Starlink missions. The booster landed on drone ship A Shortfall of Gravitas in the Atlantic Ocean. 20 Starlinks were deployed, including 13 Direct to Cells.
- On Saturday, launch 103 of Falcon 9 OneWeb 20 launched from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California. This was the seventh flight of the booster. It previously launched USSF-62 and five Starlink missions. The booster landed at Landing Zone 4 (LZ-4) at Vandenberg. This is a batch of 20 satellites for the OneWeb satellite constellation, intended to provide global Internet broadband service for individual consumers. The constellation is planned to have around 648 microsatellites around 150 kg each, operating in Ku-band from low Earth orbit. All 20 satellites were deployed.
- At Starbase, Pad B's flame trench is having rebar installed and Orbital Launch Mount construction continues at the Sanchez Production site.

Per Brigadier General Kristin Panzenhagen, Executive Officer for Assured Access to Space, "In this era of Great Power Competition, it is imperative to not leave capability on the ground. The Phase 3 Lane 1 construct allows us to execute launch services more quickly for the more risk-tolerant payloads, putting more capabilities on orbit faster in order to support National Security."
- NASA and SpaceX have canceled Crew 8's undocking from the ISS today due to unsavory weather conditions in the splash down zones. They are now looking at tomorrow at 9:05 p.m. ET, weather pending.

■ THE BORING COMPANY:
- The Michel (@Mic_VegasSphere) Vegas LOOP Update:
Westgate Station: The Westgate Station is officially open! Per Michel, "This is the first Tesla I have seen going into the tunnel. It is now possible to go to Resorts World, Fontainebleau, the West and Central halls of the LVCC.
LVCC Central Station: Michel got us our first look at the the Boring tunnels entrance and exit. "Lots of progress here. You can see construction of the tunnels ramping out to the surface. Looks like it will be finished soon."
LVCC South Hall Junction: The entire area is now covered. Per Michel, "You can see just how efficiently Boring is working now. In one week they added the surface and cleaned out the boneyard. There is no entrance so this is just an underground junction."
Please follow and give your support to Michel! Hopefully, he will be able to activate subscriptions soon. Great work, Michel!

KBF has provided over $6 million in grants to individuals with spinal cord injuries, plus education and camps for those eager to learn. It’s such an inspiring community and we were grateful to take part in it. Thank you, Kelly Brush, for answering all of our questions and for leading the way. You are remarkable!"
