The 4th of August 2014 Launch of Flight 11 of Geostationary satellite for AsiaSat,

This will be the first attempt to launch 2 flights in the same month, flight 12 due for 26th August.

Being a Geostationary orbit there will not be enough spare fuel for 1st stage landing test.

SpaceX hope that by 2015 Geostationary launches will be preformed using a Falcon Heavy to enable 1st stage returns.

AsiaSat 8 will support direct broadcasting, private networks and broadband connectivity for customers in China, India, Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
