SAOCOM 1B

The first use of the Florida polar trajectory was expected in about a month when a Falcon 9 would launch Argentina’s SAOCOM 1B radar imaging satellite from SLC-40 on 2020-03-30.

Capella's first operational satellite, Sequoia, is scheduled to launch into sun-synchronous orbit in late March alongside Saocom 1B on a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral.

A Falcon 9 launch of Argentina’s SAOCOM 1B radar imaging satellite that had been scheduled for 2020-03-30 has been put on hold.

SAOCOM 1B is an Earth observation satellite designed to provide radar imagery.

SpaceX launched the SAOCOM 1B radar imaging satellite for Argentina from Cape Canaveral in August, demonstrating feasibility of some polar launches from Florida.

SpaceX launched the SAOCOM 1B mission to a Sun-synchronous orbit from Cape Canaveral as mentioned in the thread.

SpaceX’s next launch, the Argentine radar satellite SAOCOM 1B that had been scheduled for 2020-03-30, was postponed because of international travel restrictions for the customer linked to the coronavirus pandemic.

Argentina’s space agency CONAE delayed the 2020-03-30 launch of its SAOCOM 1B satellite on a SpaceX Falcon 9 because COVID-19 restrictions raised questions about the agency’s ability to support the launch and on-orbit commissioning.

The 2020-08-30 launch used a SpaceX Falcon 9 flying south just off the Florida coast to place SAOCOM 1B, an Argentine radar imaging satellite, into polar orbit.

SAOCOM 1A was launched in 2018 and SAOCOM 1B was launched in 2020 from the United States on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket that injected them into orbit.
