Video: Saturday’s SpaceX launch

An Airbus-owned, German-built outdoor science deck is set for launch Friday night from Cape Canaveral aboard a SpaceX Dragon cargo capsule, heading for the International Space Station to make the orbiting research outpost more accessible for commercial space experiments.

Two communications satellites launched from Cape Canaveral in March aboard Falcon 9 rockets, including a broadcasting craft that lifted off on SpaceX’s first re-flown booster, have entered commercial service, according to their owners.

The Starlink 15-10 mission added 27 broadband internet satellites into the low Earth orbit constellation. SpaceX accomplished liftoff from pad 4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base at 9:28 p.m. PST (12:28 a.m. EST / 0528 UTC).
