Falcon 9 launch vehicle successfully put a commercial satellite into orbit

Today (literally an hour ago) SpaceX launched another successful launch of its Falcon 9 launch vehicle. The flight was commercial, its goal was to launch the AsiaSat8 communications satellite into orbit.

For the Falcon 9 launch vehicle, this is a one-way flight: the satellite is heavy, all fuel was needed to launch it, and there was no resources for a soft landing / return of the first stage of the launch vehicle, everything was consumed during launch.

The launch, by the way, was broadcast live, here's a 12-minute recording made during the broadcast:



Now we are working on installing the satellite in the desired orbit, the status of the mission can be monitored here .

As far as can be judged, SpaceX successfully continues to work in the field of commercial space exploration, so it remains to wish the company and Elona Mask and continue to continue in the same spirit :)

PS By the way, the other day SpaceX management officially confirmed the deployment of a new spaceport company in the state of Texas. About it already wrote on Habré , and now all this information is confirmed.
