SpaceX launched the Indonesian communications satellite Nusantara Lima from Florida's Space Coast on Thursday night after three consecutive days of weather-related delays. The Falcon 9 rocket lifted off at 9:56 PM EDT and successfully deployed the satellite into geosynchronous transfer orbit 27 minutes post-launch. The first stage booster, marking its 23rd flight, landed safely aboard the drone ship A Shortfall of Gravitas stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
