Elon Musk’s SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket has launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
SpaceX launched its ‘Zuma’ mission at 8pm on Sunday, weeks after it was initially scheduled to occur in November, the Daily Mail reports, citing CNN .
Photos and video show the launch – a secret satellite codenamed Zuma – lighting up the Florida sky.
The ship launched in an orbit less than 1,200 miles from Earth and within two minutes
disengaged its rocket booster, which then traveled back to and landed right at the Air Force Station.
Much of the trip was kept secret and it was not revealed where the ship traveled to in the atmosphere.
The launch was broadcast on SpaceX’s website but the entire mission was not live-streamed.
