Going to be the most complex launch and delivery yet for SpaceX. Should be an interesting night

The mission is rather complex. The Falcon Heavy's second stage will make four burns to place spacecraft into three different orbits. The first spacecraft will be released from the upper stage less than 13 minutes after liftoff, but the last one won't be deployed until more than three and a half hours after liftoff.
"STP-2 is a remarkable achievement for the entire team," said Air Force Col. Tim Sejba, director of the innovation and prototyping directorate at the Air Force's Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC), in a June 20 statement. "In one launch, we'll deliver 24 spacecraft to a variety of orbits. Each of these missions will advance civil and military objectives by demonstrating next generation space technologies."
