SES announced tonight the successful launch of two additional O3b mPOWER satellites aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS), Florida, at 4:08pm local time.

With these fifth and sixth O3b mPOWER satellites now in orbit, the system has the six Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellites required to deliver high-performance networked services.

The first four satellites launched last year have arrived at their final orbital positions and are currently undergoing verification. O3b mPOWER is scheduled to begin commercial service in the second quarter of 2024.
