SpaceX Falcon 9 1st Stage Booster Landing+Sonic Boom | International Space Station

SpaceX Falcon 9 1st Stage Booster Landing+Sonic Boom | International Space Station


Watch tracking footage of Falcon 9’s reusable first stage booster landing and hear its sonic boom at Cape Canaveral, Florida, on Aug. 4, 2024, after launching Northrop Grumman's Cygnus cargo spacecraft to the International Space Station. 

Falcon 9’s first stage (B1080) previously supported nine missions: Ax-2, ESA Euclid, Ax-3, CRS-30, ASTRA 1P and 4 Starlink missions. 

Aboard the Cygnus spacecraft were tests of water recovery technology, a process to produce stem cells in microgravity, studies of the effects of spaceflight on microorganism DNA, liver tissue growth, and live science demonstrations for students.

This was Northrop Grumman’s 21st commercial resupply mission for NASA.
