It is scheduled to be launched by SpaceX from Space Launch Complex 40, Cape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA at 2025-07-13 05:04:00 UTC. Until then, this pad will have been used for 320 out of 1037 launches from this location. The launch status is currently Go 🟩 . The mission type is Communications and the payload will be injected into a Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO).

Note: Payload identity is uncertain and to be confirmed, based on FCC documentation. SpaceX identifies the mission as "Commercial GTO 1".

Dror-1 is a geostationary communication satellite built and developed by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI). It is intended to meet the satellite communication needs of Israel for the next 15 years. Dror-1 is comprised primarily of local Israeli technologies developed at IAI, including an advanced digital communication payload and “smartphone in space” capabilities, to provide communication agility throughout the satellite’s lifetime in space.
