SpaceX launched satellite on Falcon 9 rocket — live video
SpaceX, the rocket company founded by
Elon
Musk
, just used its Falcon 9 rocket to launch a Qatari
communications satellite into orbit.
The Es’hail-2 satellite launched from NASA’s Kennedy Space
Center in Florida on Thursday afternoon.
Qatar’s earlier Es’hail-1 satellite was deployed in August
2013 in partnership with Eutelsat, a French telecommunications
operator. The Falcon 9 is SpaceX’s workhorse rocket
— this is the company’s 18th mission in 2018, tying its
total from last year. It was also the rocket’s 63rd launch since
2010.
