SpaceX launches satellites into orbit for US intelligence purposes
NEW YORK, May 12. /TASS/. SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket with satellites for the US National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), according to a broadcast on the US company’s X page. The rocket was launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California at 7:13 p.m. local time (2:13 a.m. GMT). A few minutes after launch, the rocket’s first stage successfully landed, marking the ninth reuse of this booster. This technology allows SpaceX to reduce launch costs.
