Video: Launch camera replays from Friday’s Falcon 9 blastoff

The Starlink 12-9 mission was SpaceX’s 10th dedicated flight supporting the launch of its Starlink V2 Mini satellites. Liftoff from pad 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station is set for 2:18 p.m. EST (1918 UTC).

A year after a launch mishap left Orbital ATK’s Cygnus supply ship without a ride to the International Space Station, company officials say the cargo delivery system is on the verge of a comeback, thanks to deals with United Launch Alliance and a decision to redesign its Antares booster with new rocket engines.

Watch a video replay of Thursday’s liftoff of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from pad 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, carrying the Es’hail 2 communications satellite into orbit.
