T-00:00	Liftoff
After the rocket's nine Merlin 1D engines pass an automated health check, the Falcon 9 is released from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla.
T+01:10	Mach 1
The Falcon 9 rocket passes the speed of sound. The first stage's nine Merlin 1D engines produce 1.3 million pounds of thrust at sea level, ramping up to 1.5 million pounds of thrust in vacuum.
T+01:18	Max Q
The Falcon 9 rocket reaches Max Q, the point of maximum aerodynamic pressure.
T+02:55	MECO
Moments after two of the Falcon 9's first stage engines shut down, the remaining seven Merlin 1D engines cut off at an altitude of about 90 kilometers, or 56 miles.
T+02:59	Stage 1 Separation
The Falcon 9's first stage separates from the second stage five seconds after MECO.
T+03:07	Stage 2 Ignition
The second stage Merlin 1D vacuum engine ignites for an approximately 5-minute, 20-second burn to inject the SES 8 satellite into a parking orbit.
T+03:59	Fairing Jettison
The 5.2-meter (17.1-foot) diameter payload fairing jettisons once the Falcon 9 rocket ascends through the dense lower atmosphere. The 43-foot-tall fairing is made of two clamshell-like halves composed of carbon fiber with an aluminum honeycomb core.
T+08:46	SECO 1
The second stage Merlin 1D vacuum engine shuts down after reaching orbit.
T+26:52	Stage 2 Restart
The second stage Merlin 1D vacuum engine re-ignites for a brief burn lasting just over one minute to inject SES 8 into the planned supersynchronous transfer orbit.
T+28:03	SECO 2
The second stage Merlin 1D vacuum engine shuts down. The upper stage next re-orients itself to deployment of the SES 8 payload.
T+31:15	SES 8 Separation
The 6,918-pound SES 8 broadcasting satellite is deployed from the Falcon 9 second stage in an orbit with a perigee of 183 miles, an apogee of 49,709 miles (295 km x 80,000 km) with an inclination of 20.75 degrees. SES expects to acquire radio signals from the satellite moments after separation.
