Starships coming to Florida: Air Force collecting public comments during Brevard hearings In early December, a SpaceX Falcon 9 launched the SiriusXM SXM-9 satellite from KSC. Maxar developed the SXM-9 and SXM-10 satellites per a 2021 agreement, with two more in the works. "SXM-11 and -12 will be twin high-powered digital audio radio satellites, built on Maxar’s proven 1300-class platform at the company’s manufacturing facilities in Palo Alto and San Jose, California," a Maxar press release said. "Maxar has been building satellites for SiriusXM for more than two decades, including the first-generation Sirius satellites launched in 2000; the second-generation Sirius satellites launched in 2009 and 2013; and the company’s current third-generation satellites, the first one of which started service in 2021," the press release said. Next on the Eastern Range calendar, SpaceX will launch Axiom Space’s commercial astronauts to the International Space Station on a Dragon spacecraft. Liftoff is scheduled for 8:22 a.m. Tuesday, June 10, from pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center.
