The imposing Falcon 9 took off to the deafening roar of its Merlin engines shortly after 9.17am EST (2.17pm GMT) today.
Following the ten second countdown at Space Launch Complex 4, Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, the rocket reached top speeds of over 27,600 km/h as it entered space.
Today’s SpaceX mission was divided into two stages, each with their own precious cargo payloads onboard the rocket.
The first stage of the launch delivered a Spanish reconnaissance PAZ satellite into a low-orbital position over Earth.
