Found a brief description:

MISSION

The next launch of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will send Qatar’s Es’hail-2 satellite into geostationary orbit. The communications satellite will connect amateur ham radio users from Brazil to Thailand, and will assist with broadcast and broadband connectivity to Qatar and neighboring countries.

It's wonderful seeing it when people get the chance to do something they love that much.

Spectacular event. So complex. Mindboggling.

Thanks for posting when you spotted the alert!
