Watch SpaceX's Falcon 9 Make A Record-Setting Launch

LOS ANGELES, CA — On Monday, less than two months after SpaceX used its Falcon 9 booster to launch two astronauts on a historic trip to the International Space Station, the Hawthorne-based company used the same booster, B1058, to transport the South Korean military satellite ANASIS II to orbit.

The launch, held at Cape Canaveral in Florida, went off without a hitch.

Here's a recording of the livestream:

The launch of the B1058 booster would came 51 days after it last returned to Earth on June 3, following a May 30 mission that represented the first-ever launch of astronauts into orbit by a private company and NASA's first human spaceflight from U.S. soil in nearly a decade.

A 51-day turnaround breaks a three-decade-old record for rocket reuse set by NASA's Space Shuttle Atlantis, which in 1985 returned to space 54 days after its previous landing.

The ANASIS II launch has been delayed multiple times from previous launch dates set for early June.

After SpaceX announced an additional delay July 13, CEO Elon Musk tweeted, "We’re being extra paranoid. Maximizing probability of successful launch is paramount."
