Here\u2019s another batch of photos from Saturday\u2019s Falcon 9 launch from Florida\u2019s Space Coast with nearly 6,000 pounds of supplies heading for the International Space Station.<\/p>\n

The Falcon 9 rocket, powered by nine Merlin 1D main engines, climbed into a mostly cloudy sky at 5:07 p.m. EDT (2107 GMT) Saturday atop 1.7 million pounds of ground-shaking thrust. It was the 100th time a rocket has blasted off from historic pad 39A at NASA\u2019s Kennedy Space Center.<\/p>\n

These images show the Falcon 9\u2019s liftoff, followed by landing of the rocket\u2019s first stage booster at nearby Landing Zone 1 less than eight minutes after launch, marking the 11th time SpaceX has recovered one of its launch vehicles after a flight.<\/p>\n
