SpaceX successfully launched an Indonesian communications satellite to orbit on Sunday using a Falcon9 booster on its 12th flight.
SpaceX successfully launched the PSN SATRIA mission from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Sunday evening.
Recommended Videos The rocket blasted off the launchpad at 6:21 p.m. ET following a delay of 15 minutes due to strong winds. Just over eight minutes after launch, the first-stage booster returned safely to Earth, making a perfect landing on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship that was waiting in the Atlantic Ocean just off the coast of Florida.
Besides satellite launches, SpaceX also uses its Falcon 9 flight system for cargo and crewed flights to the International Space Station, and has also used its workhorse rocket for a private flight with non-professional astronauts in a three day Earth-orbiting mission in 2021.
