A rarely heard cannonade of sonic booms will reverberate across the Space Coast Tuesday, the result of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch and subsequent landing at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
After a 2:56 p.m. liftoff from Launch Complex 40, the rocket s 162-foot booster will separate from the payload-hauling second stage, flip around, and begin an autonomous descent toward nearby Landing Zone 1. Though it will have flown to an altitude hundreds of thousands of feet above Earth s surface, the booster will touch down just five-and-a-half miles from where it started.
