Drone’s view of Sunday’s SpaceX rocket landing

Two communications satellites blasted off Sunday aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, kicking off more than a half-year of novel maneuvers in orbit using plasma drive engines to position the spacecraft 22,300 miles above Earth and link the Americas, Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

Two spacewalkers attached a new docking port to the International Space Station Friday, clearing the way for U.S. crew ferry ships being built by Boeing and SpaceX to begin test flights to the lab complex next year.

SpaceX completed its third attempt to launch the Starlink 6-44 mission Friday night. Liftoff 8:21 p.m. ET (0021 UTC).
