SpaceX Launches Intelsat Satellite with NASA's TEMPO Experiment.

SpaceX is set to launch the Intelsat 40e satellite into geostationary transfer orbit, carrying NASA's Tropospheric Emissions Monitoring of Pollution (TEMPO) as a hosted payload. The satellite will provide high-throughput connectivity to Intelsat's government and enterprise customers across North and Central America, while TEMPO will take hourly snapshots of air pollution over North America. The Falcon 9 rocket booster on this flight is making its fourth flight and is expected to land on the company's drone ship A Shortfall Of Gravitas in the Atlantic Ocean about 8 minutes after liftoff.
