A SpaceX Falcon 9 launched 32 payloads from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Tuesday, Oct. 20, 2026, at 7:04 a.m. EDT, as the sun was rising over Florida's Space Coast.
The lighting conditions created a spectacular view as the Falcon 9 climbed to orbit and its first stage returned to Earth.
The first-stage booster, making its 19th flight, flew a south-east trajectory and landed on the drone ship 'A Shortfall of Gravity' stationed east of the Bahamas. Among the payloads aboard was SpaceX's Starfall reentry capsule.
Includes 5.1 surround sound for those with compatible devices and speakers.
