Beskrivning : SpaceX has selected the ORBCOMM-2 (OG2) mission for Falcon 9`s Return To Flight. While no specific launch date has been selected, the company is aiming for lift off to take place in around six to eight weeks, likely resulting in an early December mission. ORBCOMM-2`s trip to LEO will allow for the Second Stage to conduct additional testing ahead of the more taxing SES-9 mission.

Orbcomm Inc., a global satellite data communications company providing two-way Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications, announced in May 2008 that it has signed a next generation satellite constellation contract with Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) to build 18 new Orbcomm Generation 2 (OG2) satellites with an option to purchase up to 30 additional OG2 satellites to augment and upgrade Orbcomm`s existing satellite constellation.
