Falcon 9 • Galileo FOC FM26 & FM32

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched two satellites into medium Earth orbit for the European Commission’s Galileo project. The Galileo constellation provides navigation data like the U.S. Global Positioning System (GPS). The Falcon 9 first stage booster was recovered on the SpaceX droneship, ‘Just Read the Instructions,’ in the Atlantic Ocean. Delayed from Sept. 15 and 16 due to recovery weather.
