FLORIDA, United States (Reuters) – A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched an Intelsat communications satellite from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral on Wednesday evening (July 5).
The rocket delivered Intelsat 35e to a Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO), according to SpaceX.
SpaceX said due to mission requirements, it would not try to land Falcon 9’s first stage after the launch.
Two launches were scrubbed this week.
On Monday, the launch was aborted due to a software error, with just seconds left on the countdown clock.
