SpaceX sticks second landing
SpaceX has launched and landed another Falcon 9 rocket at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
The rocket was carrying a Dragon capsule that will deliver cargo to the International Space Station for NASA.
As with previous landings, bringing the Falcon 9 back to earth in one piece was secondary to successfully launching and deploying the Dragon spacecraft.
This marks the fifth time SpaceX has landed its Falcon 9 rockets after a launch. Its first landing was at Cape Canaveral’s landing pad.
The next three landings were on SpaceX’s drone ships.
