SpaceX Falcon 9 lifts off at Cape Canaveral with Canadian satellite on board

SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral on Sunday, deploying the Telstar 19V communications satellite for Canada’s Telesat, according to the company’s webcast. It said that the Canadian satellite will be deployed approximately 32 minutes after lift-off. Following the launch, SpaceX will attempt to land the first stage of the Falcon 9 via their autonomous drone-ship, called ‘Of Course I Still Love You,’ which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
