SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket with the Transporter-11 mission into low-Earth orbit Friday afternoon as scheduled from Space Launch Complex 4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.

After the rocket booster stage separation, the Falcon 9 landed on Landing Zone 4 at Vandenberg Space Force Base with no issues.

The at 2:53 p.m. EDT launch was streamed live.

It was the 12th flight of the first-stage booster that previously powered nine SpaceX launches for Starlink satellite missions. This booster also was used for the SDA-0A and SARah-2 missions.
