Falcon 9 Flight 21 (also known as Jason 3) is a Falcon 9 space launch currently scheduled to occur no earlier than 17 January 2016.
The launch will be only the second SpaceX launch following the catastrophic failure of a Falcon 9 v1.1 launch vehicle's second stage on Falcon 9 Flight 19 in June 2015, which resulted in the total loss of the mission on that launch.
