SpaceX Launches First Next-Gen Spy Satellites for NRO
SpaceX successfully launched a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base as part of the ESA EarthCARE mission to low-Earth orbit. The first-stage booster, used for the seventh time, landed back at Vandenberg, causing sonic booms heard locally. This marks SpaceX's 18th launch from Vandenberg this year.
