Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida, UPDATED: Jun 7, 2025 16:38 IST SpaceX rocket launch occurred at Cape Canaveral, Florida This was Falcon 9's eighth flight, supporting NASA and others SXM-10 will serve SiriusXM's satellite radio from geosynchronous orbit SpaceX successfully launched its Falcon 9 rocket early on Saturday, carrying the SXM-10 satellite for SiriusXM into space. The launch took place from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. advertisement The SXM-10 satellite was deployed into a geosynchronous transfer orbit, where the satellite will orbit the Earth and serve SiriusXM's satellite radio capabilities. The satellite was manufactured by Maxar Technologies. This is the eighth flight for the Falcon 9 rocket, which has previously supported missions such as NASA's Crew-9. SpaceX's latest mission comes amid a tumultuous week for the company owned by billionaire Elon Musk. About USD 22 billion of SpaceX's government contracts are at risk, and multiple US space programmes could face dramatic changes following Musk's public feud with US President Donald Trump on Thursday. The disagreement, rooted in Musk's criticism of Trump's tax-cut and spending legislation that began last week, quickly spiralled out of control. Trump lashed out at Musk when the President spoke in the Oval Office. Then in a series of X posts, Musk launched barbs at Trump, who threatened to terminate government contracts with Musk's companies. Published By:
