Drone’s view of Sunday’s SpaceX rocket landing

Liftoff from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station occurred at 9:30 p.m. EDT (0130 UTC).

SpaceX’s launch team loaded super-chilled liquid propellants into a two-stage Falcon 9 rocket Wednesday and fired the booster’s nine first stage engines at Cape Canaveral, marching toward liftoff Monday with a NASA observatory built to find planets around other stars in our galactic neighborhood.

Two SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launches will loft seven high-throughput broadband satellites for SES’s O3b mPower constellation in 2021, SES announced this week.
