ASBM (Arctic Satellite Broadband Mission) 1 & 2 are two twin satellites built by Northrop Grumman for Space Norway, in cooperation with Inmarsat and the Norwegian Ministry of Defence.
They are designed to bring mobile broadband coverage in the Arctic for both civilians and military.
The US Air Force provides the Extremely High Frequency eXtended Data Rate payloads on ASBM satellites as part of the Enhanced Polar System Recapitalization (EPS-R) program.

Landing
Core B1061
Booster B1061 last launched 10/07/2024 and has seen 22 successful launches and landings. Booster which launched Crew-1, Crew-2 and IXPE. Expended for the launch of Hera.
Of Course I Still Love You – OCISLY
The second ASDS barge, Of Course I Still Love You (OCISLY) services launches in the Pacific Ocean and was the site of the first landing of a SpaceX Falcon 9 first stage during CRS-8, the launch of a Dragon spacecraft to the International Space Station.
Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship – ASDS
An autonomous spaceport drone ship (ASDS) is an ocean-going vessel derived from a deck barge, outfitted with station-keeping engines and a large landing platform. Construction of such ships was commissioned by aerospace company SpaceX to allow for recovery of rocket first-stages at sea for high-velocity missions which do not carry enough fuel to return to the launch site after lofting spacecraft onto an orbital trajectory.
Agency

7 day suspension
Where does stage 2 blowup?
Light this Candle Spacex.
I saw it said 2AM on the 12th earlier briefly. Now it’s back to Sunday evening?
Hi, is this mission’s core landing back in Vandenberg?
The landing information is available above. It states the booster will be Landon on the drone ship.
I hope It’s a successful launch.
