A Falcon 9 launched the MTG-S1 weather satellite for Eumetsat from Kennedy Space Center in 2025.
Eumetsat moved the MTG-S1 launch from Ariane 6 to Falcon 9 to ensure the spacecraft would launch in 2025 and agreed to use Ariane 6 for future satellite launches.
SpaceX performed 83 Falcon 9 launches so far in 2025, which is more than eight times the projected peak annual launch rate for Ariane 6.
