A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched the EchoStar XXV mission to geosynchronous transfer orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 12:19 a.m. on 10 March 2026. Following stage separation, Falcon 9's first stage landed on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

This is the 14th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously supported Crew-9, RRT-1, Firefly Blue Ghost Mission 1, Fram2, SXM-10, MTG-21, and seven Starlink missions.

EchoStar 25 is a direct broadcasting communications satellite that will deliver broadcast television programming across the United States for the DISH Network Corporation.
