Falcon 9 launches two Galileo satellites

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched the Galileo L12 mission, two Galileo satellites (Galileo FOC-M10 25 & 27, SAT 29-30), to medium Earth orbit from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at Kennedy Space Center, Florida, on 28 April 2024, at 00:34 UTC (27 April, at 20:34 EDT). Falcon 9’s first stage (B1060) previously supported 19 missions: Transporter-2, GPS-III Space Vehicle 03, Turksat-5A, Intelsat G-33/G-34, Transporter-6, IM-1and 13 Starlink missions. Due to the additional performance required to deliver the payload to medium Earth orbit, Falcon 9’s first stage was not planned to be recovered.

We are on holiday from the UK and feel so lucky to have been at KSC today, we didn't realise this was happening and drove an extra hour to experience this..... I literally cried on the beach seeing it launch, overwhelmed and so chuffed to see such an amazing event ❤
