SpaceX successfully launched its 30th mission of the year from Cape Canaveral, Florida, carrying a communications satellite for Indonesia. The Falcon 9's first-stage booster made its 12th flight and was recovered on the company's droneship in the Atlantic. The satellite will provide broadband internet and communications capability for public use facilities in Indonesia's rural regions. SpaceX has flown 29 of the 30 launches from the Space Coast this year, with the only other coming from Relativity Space. United Launch Alliance is scheduled for its first launch of the year early Wednesday.
