Tuesday Success For SpaceX

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket successfully launched on Tuesday evening, delivering two new Galileo satellites into orbit for the European Space Agency. The mission was initially delayed by the weather, but once cleared, it proceeded flawlessly with the booster landing on the droneship in the Atlantic Ocean. The mission yesterday marked that particular Falcon 9’s 22nd flight, including past missions supporting Starlink, Crew Dragon, and other payloads. The Galileo satellites, part of the world’s most precise navigation system, enhance global positioning services, serving over four billion smartphones.
