SpaceX has launched a Falcon 9 rocket with the SXM-8 relay satellite. This is reported by the company.
The mission was launched from the spaceport at Cape Canaveral (Florida, USA). The satellite was successfully launched into orbit.
The first stage of the Falcon 9, which was previously used twice to deliver the crews of the Crew Dragon ships into orbit, after launch automatically fell onto the Just Read the Instructions landing platform in the Atlantic Ocean.
Previously, SpaceX sent the Cargo Dragon to the International Space Station (ISS). He brought solar panels and more than 3 tons of materials for experiments. With their help, the participants of the ISS mission will have to find out how animals and microbacteria interact in gravity. They also investigate the growth of cotton in zero gravity.
