SpaceX successfully launches secret government spy satellite
First stage of Falcon 9 rocket lands back at Cape Canaveral
SpaceX launched a top-secret spy satellite for the U.S. government Monday morning and
then successfully landed the booster for recycling. The unmanned Falcon 9 rocket lifted off
from its NASA-leased pad at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. It was SpaceX's first
mission for the National Reconnaissance Office. No details were divulged about the newly
launched NRO satellite. Instead, SpaceX focused its webcast on the successful touchdown
of the first-stage booster. The leftover booster — its job done — landed at Cape Canaveral
Air Force Station several minutes after liftoff. Sonic booms rattled the area, serving as a
Monday morning wake-up call. Across the country, cheers erupted at SpaceX Mission
Control at company headquarters in Hawthorne, California. SpaceX strives to return most
of its boosters for reuse.
The company's first recycled rocket flew last month. This was the fourth SpaceX booster
landing at Cape Canaveral; even more have landed on ocean platforms.
