SpaceX successfully launched an advanced GPS satellite for the US Space Force on 5 November, marking the first launch in nearly two weeks from Florida’s Space Coast. One of the company’s two-stage Falcon 9 rockets blasted off from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, carrying the GPS III SV04 satellite to orbit. Nine minutes later the rocket’s first stage touched down on the deck of Of Course I Still Love You, one of SpaceX’s two drone ships.
