Running two days late after back-to-back scrubs, SpaceX launched a pair of Intelsat communications satellites from Cape Canaveral Saturday evening.
Running two days late after back-to-back scrubs, SpaceX launched a pair of Intelsat communications satellites from Cape Canaveral Saturday evening in the company's third Falcon 9 launch in as many days. It followed two flights Wednesday, one from each coast, that were just seven hours apart.
After dropping off the well-used first stage for recovery on a SpaceX landing barge, the rocket's upper stage propelled the two-satellite payload out of the discernible atmosphere, and released them into elliptical"transfer" orbits, as planned, about 40 minutes after launch. Area residents, tourists and photographers, amateur and professional alike, tweeted equally spectacular views of the rocket, silhouetted in front of the rising full moon as it raced toward orbit.
