SpaceX's Falcon 9 Rocket Will Take To The Skies Again Next Week
Months after its last failed attempt to land the Falcon 9, SpaceX is gearing up to do yet another test launch of the unmanned rocket.
After the disastrous test run of its rocket back in June, SpaceX went dark for a few months, save for the occasional Twitter kerfuffle. But today, the private space company announced it is finally ready for another attempt: CEO Elon Musk confirmed via Twitter that SpaceX will launch a Falcon 9 rocket around December 19. The rocket will contain 11 satellites that are being sent into lower Earth orbit for a client called Orbcomm, a New Jersey-based communications company.
