A SpaceX Falcon 9 took off from the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California and landed successfully, launching three Canadian satellites into orbit amid heavy fog.
Three satellites for the Canadian Space Agency's Earth-monitoring Radarsat program were launched into orbit from California on Wednesday aboard a reused SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
The first stage separated a few minutes into flight and headed back to the coastal base, extended its legs and set down on a landing zone. The Radarsat Constellation Mission satellites were deployed a few minutes apart from the upper stage about an hour after liftoff. The images are used for a range of purposes, including tracking of sea ice, vessels, surface winds and oil pollution, as well as disaster management — especially the recurring problem of flooding — and monitoring of agriculture, forestry and land changes.
