Cape Canaveral Space Force Station

SpaceX launched an Egyptian communications satellite toward a geostationary orbit June 8th from Cape Canaveral. It was the first commercial launch of a geostationary payload in 2022 as the market shifts towards lower-orbit satellites.

Falcon 9 rocket blasted off at 5:04 p.m. EDT (2104 GMT) from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
