SpaceX will launch a flight proven Falcon 9 booster with a Block 5 second stage to put the SES-12 communication satellite into a geostationary transfer orbit. SES-12 is the heaviest payload ever launched to GTO by a Falcon 9 rocket at 5,384 KG.
The launch is scheduled for 12:45 a.m. EDT local time (4:45 UTC) on June 4th, 2018 in a four hour launch window out of SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
This first stage previously flew on the OTV-5 mission in September of 2017. There will be no attempt to recover the booster.
