Launch News SpaceX Falcon 9 Block 5 SSO-A

SpaceX did it again. SSO-A and 64 microsats made it to orbit, and they landed the first stage on the droneship, right on the target.


Yawn.


Oh yeah, this is this booster's *third* flight.


That is all.

Now, if only they could get the second stage reusable...
