Summary
JCSAT-14 launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 Full Thrust from Space Launch Complex 40, Cape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA on May 6, 2016. It was SpaceX's 29th launch, 4th this year and humanity's 5,557th orbital launch attempt. It was the 4th Falcon 9 Full Thrust flight and the 3rd this year. Booster B1022 flew for the 1st time and landed at Of Course I Still Love You. The payload was bound for Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO). JCSAT 2B, one of 2 catalogued objects, reached a 196 × 35,964 km orbit inclined 23.7°. 2 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.

About this launch
Built on the LS-1300 bus by SSL, JCSAT-14 will replace JCSAT 2A in geostationary orbit. Positioned at 154 degrees east, the satellite will provide high speed connectivity for maritime, aviation and resource exploration in Asia, Russia, Oceania and the Pacific. The craft contains 26 C and 18 Ku-band transponders, which are powered by 2 solar arrays for its 15 year lifetime.
