The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket’s first stage successfully touched down on Landing Zone 4 East at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California following launch of Sentinel-6B.
The Falcon 9 second stage will continue to coast for approximately 45 minutes before igniting for a brief, one-minute burn to align its trajectory with its intended destination in non-Sun-synchronous orbit.
About five minutes later, the satellite is scheduled to separate from the second stage and deploy into orbit.
Updates will be posted on the Sentinel-6B blog.
