SpaceX Falcon 9 Launches 130 Payloads

SpaceX, the space transportation company founded by Elon Musk, successfully completed its “Transporter-18” mission by launching a Falcon 9 rocket carrying 130 payloads into space. The rocket lifted off from California’s Vandenberg Space Force Base at 11:32 local time, transporting a diverse cargo that included cube satellites, microsatellites, and orbital transfer vehicles. Approximately seven and a half minutes after launch, the rocket’s first-stage booster safely executed a vertical landing back at the base. With this latest achievement, SpaceX has now sent over 1,800 payloads into orbit under its joint launch program.
