Summary
SES-22 launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 Block 5 from Space Launch Complex 40, Cape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA on June 29, 2022. It was SpaceX's 179th launch, 27th this year and humanity's 6,256th orbital launch attempt. It was the 105th Falcon 9 Block 5 flight and the 27th this year. Booster B1073 flew for the 2nd time and landed at A Shortfall of Gravitas. The payload was bound for Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO). SES-22, one of 2 catalogued objects, reached a 317 × 35,634 km orbit inclined 16.5°. 2 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.
