Did you feel a little shake tonight? See something bright in the sky to the east? It may have been from a rocket launch tonight.

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket (Thuraya 4) was scheduled to take off Friday, January 3, 2025 at 8:27 pm from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

This flight launched a satellite that will provide mobile communications services throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa for both commercial and government customers.

About 8 minutes after liftoff, the first stage booster was set to lamd on a droneship positioned in the Atlantic Ocean.
