SpaceX launches 53 satellites on Transporter-10 rideshare flight, nails rocket landing

SpaceX launched a big batch of satellites for a variety of private customers today. The company's Transporter-10 mission lifted off right on time at 5:05 p.m. ET (2205 GMT) on Monday (March 4) from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. Today's launch will place 53 payloads into various orbits including True Anomaly's Jackal spacecraft, a wide range of cubesats and nanosats, and the Aires satellite built by spacecraft-manufacturer Apex which will carry multiple payloads itself. If all goes well, all 53 satellites should be deployed from SpaceX's upper stage about 2 hours after liftoff. More
