SpaceX launches communications satellite from Florida’s Space Coast

Falcon 9 rocket to carry Hisdesat’s satellite from Kennedy Space Center

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – SpaceX on Wednesday launched a military communications satellite aboard a Falcon 9 rocket from the Space Coast.

The Hisdesat SpainSat NG I mission lifted off from Launch Pad 39A at Kennedy Space Center at 8:34 p.m.

This will be the 21st and final launch for the first-stage booster “due to the additional performance required to deliver this payload to orbit,” SpaceX said.

This launch comes after another batch of Starlink satellites were sent into low-Earth orbit earlier this week from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
