American aerospace company SpaceX achieved the historic feat of successfully launching and landing Falcon 9 rocket on solid ground at Cape Canaveral.
- Falcon 9 successfully launched a constellation of 11 Orbcomm-OG2 second-generation satellites.
- This was the 20th launch of the Falcon 9.
It is the first time in the history of rocketry that a rocket has returned back after delivering a spacecraft to its orbit, so that it could potentially fly again. This exercise of using reusable rockets will help in reducing the cost of access to space making explorations a more realistic goal.
