Live coverage: SpaceX cargo capsule returns to Earth

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket loaded with 10 Iridium Next communications satellite is awaiting a predawn launch Wednesday from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California.

SpaceX has released video from an Aug. 30 launch captured by a camera mounted aboard the first stage of a Falcon 9 rocket, showing the booster’s climb into space from Cape Canaveral and a fiery return to the Florida spaceport, where SpaceX will ready the vehicle for another mission.

The mission launched about eight hours after another Starlink launch from California. Liftoff from pad 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station happened at 8:21 a.m. EST (1321 UTC).
