Watch the new launch of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket

SpaceX launched today (03) to space a new Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida (United States). According to a memorandum, the rocket will launch an Intelsat telecommunication satellite into orbit.

Goodbye Falcon 9

Unlike other rockets and probes, this Falcon 9 does not return to Earth. That's because the Intelsat 35e satellite being loaded weighs more than 5, 800 kilograms (5.8 tons) will be left in geostationary orbit, which is 35, 786 kilometers above sea level.

All these numbers make it clear that Falcon 9 will not have enough fuel to make a round trip. Goodbye Falcon 9. Below you follow the last moments of the rocket on Earth.
