SpaceX Falcon 9, Ovzon-3, January 3, 2024

A SpaceX Falcon 9 carrying a telecommunications satellite for Swedish-American company Ovzon lifted off from Pad SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Station at 6:04pm EST this evening. After carrying its part of the mission, the booster used for the mission returned for a successful landing at the company’s Landing Zone 1 only a short distance away.

This was the tenth for Booster B-1076. It previously launched CRS-26, OneWeb Launch 16, Intelsat IS-40e, O3b mPOWER, and five Starlink missions. The booster will be transported to SpaceX’s “Hangar X” facility at Kennedy Space Center, where it will be inspected, and presumably refurbished and prepared for its next mission.
