A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched the company’s 12th rideshare mission to a sun-synchronous orbit. Onboard were a variety of customer satellites, including 35 satellites integrated by Exolaunch along with 36 SuperDoves and Pelican-2 from Planet Labs PBC. Less than eight minutes after liftoff, the first stage booster returned to a landing pad near the launch site.
