Live coverage: Ariane 5 rocket launches TV broadcast satellites

Watch a 4K video replay of the launch of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and Cargo Dragon spacecraft Dec. 6 on a resupply mission to the International Space Station.

The planned launch of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket Tuesday from Cape Canaveral of a South Korean military communications satellite has been delayed in order to address an issue on the launcher’s second stage, and potentially replace the hardware if necessary, officials said Monday.

Firing through a veil of fog blanketing California’s Central Coast, a Falcon 9 launcher climbed into orbit Wednesday with 10 more satellites for Iridium’s voice and data relay constellation, pushing the upgraded network closer to completion as SpaceX accomplished another landing of the rocket’s first stage booster.
