BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. — SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket Wednesday from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
The rocket launched right at the opening of the 5:04 p.m. launch window from Space Launch Complex 40.
The rocket is carrying a NILESAT-301, a geostationary communications satellite, that will provide digital broadband and internet connectivity services to Nilesat, an Egyptian operator., WKMG reported.
After stage separation, the rocket’s first-stage booster will attempt to land on a droneship in the Atlantic Ocean.
