Check out imagery from Friday\u2019s liftoff of a previously-flown Falcon 9 rocket booster with the BulgariaSat 1 communications satellite from Florida\u2019s Space Coast.<\/p>\n

The 229-foot-tall (70-meter) rocket took off from pad 39A at NASA\u2019s Kennedy Space Center at 3:10 p.m. EDT (1910 GMT) Friday after a one-hour delay. The first stage of the Falcon 9 made an on-target landing aboard SpaceX\u2019s drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean, and the upper stage successfully completed the primary mission of delivering the BulgariaSat 1 communications satellite to orbit.<\/p>\n

It was the eighth Falcon 9 flight of the year.<\/p>\n
