SpaceX has conducted the debut launch of the final variant of its powerhouse Falcon 9 rocket, the Block 5 -which will continue to further SpaceX’s already realized goal of providing low-cost, affordable access to space for countries that have not been able to afford such missions before. The mission launched from LC-39A at the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, and lofted Bangladesh’s first satellite, Bangabandhu-1, to Geostationary Transfer Orbit. Thursday’s attempt was scrubbed, moving the Block 5’s debut to Friday.
