The Falcon 9 deployed Telstar 19 Vantage into a geostationary transfer orbit almost 33 minutes after liftoff.
SpaceX’s next mission after the Telstar 19 Vantage launch is a Falcon 9 carrying 10 Iridium Next satellites scheduled for launch on 2018-07-25 from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.
Telstar 19 VANTAGE includes a high-power Ku-band spot beam that provides very high throughputs at a lower cost-per-bit in the Brazilian Pre-salt oil region.
SpaceX launched the Telstar 19 Vantage telecom satellite for Telesat on 2018-07-22 using a Block 5 Falcon 9 rocket.
Telstar 18 Vantage is a high-throughput satellite and is the second Telesat spacecraft launched by SpaceX that summer following the 2018-07-22 launch of Telstar 19 Vantage on another Falcon 9 Block 5 from the same launch pad.
In a regulatory filing submitted 2021-03-04, Telesat reported that Maxar was investigating an anomaly affecting the in-orbit Telstar 19 VANTAGE spacecraft that Maxar built for Telesat.
