SpaceX launched its second mission in two months for Telesat Canada Sunday, with a Falcon 9 rocket placing the Telstar 18V satellite into geostationary transfer orbit. Falcon lifted off from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station during a four-hour window opening at 23:28 Eastern time (03:28 UTC on Monday) – with a T-0 moved to 00:45 (04:45 UTC) due to poor weather – and took just over thirty-two minutes to complete its mission.
