SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket is set to launch again on December 16th at 12:36PM PST from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. The Falcon 9 will launch 10 Iridium satellites into Low Earth Orbit. It isn't confirmed whether they will attempt a 1st stage landing on the droneship, but looking at previous launches it is likely. This will be the first launch of the Falcon 9 since the anomaly on September 1st when it exploded on the pad shortly before a static fire test of the engines.Thursday, December 1, 2016
