SpaceX confirmed the launch as early as Sunday morning, calling it TD7. The mission, which had been repeatedly postponed, finally took off from Kennedy Space Center Pad 39A at 5:28 p.m. EST on a Falcon 9. Clouds obscured the view, but the launch followed a due-east trajectory.
Great weather was predicted for this launch window, with less than a 5% chance of violation, according to the Space Force 45th Weather Squadron. But the weather for booster recovery stayed low to moderate.
