In Silicon Valley’s race to space, Elon Musk is back on top.
SpaceX sent a Falcon rocket soaring toward orbit Monday night with 11 small satellites, its first mission since an accident last summer.
SpaceX employees jammed company headquarters in Hawthorne, California, anxiously awaiting success outside Mission Control.
Minutes after blast-off, the Falcon 9’s first stage rocket separated from its upper-stage booster, which continued on into orbit to release ORBCOMM’s satellites, which will provide machine-to-machine messaging services on the ground – such as between retailers and shipping containers.

The SpaceX rocket is faster and more complex, meaning it was a bit harder to pull off than Blur Origin’s test, but it’s still huge. Musk explained minutes before the launch how many tweaks were made to account for the previous failures.
