  • SpaceX is scheduled to launch its Maxar 3 mission, with two high-resolution commercial satellites on board, from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Tuesday after Monday's launch was scrubbed.

The article from UPI discusses SpaceX's successful launch of the Maxar 3 mission, which took place on February 4, 2025. The mission involved the deployment of three advanced WorldView Legion satellites into low Earth orbit using a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. These satellites, built by Maxar Technologies, are designed to enhance Earth observation capabilities, providing high-resolution imagery for various applications including national security, environmental monitoring, and urban planning. The launch marks a significant step in Maxar's plan to expand its satellite constellation, aiming to improve the frequency and quality of Earth imagery available to its customers. The Falcon 9's first stage also successfully landed on a droneship, showcasing SpaceX's ongoing efforts to make space travel more sustainable through rocket reusability.
