SpaceX launched the Maxar 2 mission to orbit Thursday morning from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
Maxar 2 is the second of three missions with Maxar to deliver their six WorldView Legion satellites to orbit. Earlier this year, Falcon 9 launched the first two WorldView Legion satellites to orbit from California.
