A SpaceX Falcon 9 launched a Bulgarian communications satellite June 23. The Falcon 9 lifted off from Launch Complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center at 3:10 pm EDT (1910 GMT), halfway into a two-hour launch window. The rocket's first stage, which first flew on an Iridium launch in January, landed on a ship in the Atlantic. BulgariaSat-1, weighing about 4,000 kilograms at launch, carries 32 Ku-band transponders and will provide video and other communications services from 1.9 degrees east in GEO.
