SpaceX successfully launched the Cosmo-Schemede Second Generation 2 satellite for the Italian Space Agency on Monday, 31 January.
The launch followed three adjournment in the last week, including a single one on Sunday, when the rocket was stopped in the vomiting of 33 seconds before the lift due to a cruise ship wandering in the dangerous area under the planned flight road.
SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket picked up the ET from Cape Canvart in Florida at 6:11 pm, exploded in the night sky as it took the Italian Earth-Earlier satellite into a sun-colored orbit.
As usual, the private space company launched on YouTube, capturing the initial stages of the mission using a variety of cameras.
There was a footage of separation from the stage two-and-a-half minutes after the cool launch, especially. While Spacex usually livestream this part through the camera attached to the upper stage of Falcon 9, this time it captured separation using a powerful ground camera. You can see the footage below.
Mission highlights
Below are important moments from the launch of Monday night.

About 150 seconds after the launch, a ground camera captured the moment when two rocket sections separated, while traveling about 3,665 mph (5,900 km per hour), 42.7 miles (68.7 km) above the Earth.
Shy for four minutes in the mission, the fairing of the rocket fell away for the first time to highlight the satellite in space. The vessels in the Atlantic were designed to try to catch two fairing parts in a huge mesh to reuse them. We are waiting to confirm whether the fairing sections were successfully caught.
The first phase of the Falcon 9 rocket was then captured by making another perfect landing, in the landing zone 1 in Cape Canvart. Again, some new camera angles caught the final moments of the rocket before touching about eight minutes after the launch.
Looking from Terra Ferma, SpaceX boss Elon Musk took a moment to remind everyone of notable abilities of Falcon 9 rockets.

Another mission is over!
