Successful launch of the satellite and landing of the SpaceX rocket

The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket delivered an Argentine Earth observation satellite to space and landed for the first time on a launch pad in California. The main objective of the mission is to launch the SAOCOM 1A satellite into orbit. However, the company also wanted to expand the process of returning to Earth the first stages. Earlier, SpaceX lowered missiles after launch in Florida, but this is the first case for the West Coast.

The Air Force last week advised local residents of the central coast of California not to worry about noise and light flashes, as this is an accompaniment for the launch and return of the Falcon 9 rocket. SpaceX also successfully landed the first stages of the rocket off the coast of Florida and California, which are part of space launches due to the reusable use of rockets (they were previously simply dumped into the ocean). The satellite is the first of a pair of spacecraft for the Argentine space agency. SAOCOM 1A carries a high-resolution tool - a synthetic alpha radar, which is used for emergency management during disasters and monitoring the Earth.
