SpaceX on Monday night (Dec. 21) launched a Falcon 9 rocket carrying 11 communication satellites for Orbcomm. The successful flight was the first for the company since its launch failure last June and introduced use of an upgraded Falcon 9 rocket. In addition to safely reaching space, the flight also made history by returning the rocket’s first stage to Landing Zone 1 at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida.
