A telecommunication satellite from the South Korean telecom giant KT has been launched into space and is now in orbit. 

According to a launch video from SpaceX, the Koreasat-6A, a geostationary satellite for communication services, was launched aboard SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 12:22 p.m. Monday, Eastern Standard Time.

The booster of the Falcon 9 rocket successfully separated and descended to Earth approximately seven minutes after launch, and the second-stage rocket continued its flight and successfully deployed the satellite into orbit about 35 minutes after launch.

The Koreasat-6A will provide fixed satellite services and broadcasting satellite services. 

KT SAT, the satellite service arm of KT, plans to put the telecom satellite into official service in the first quarter of next year after completing tests in orbit by the end of this year.
