A 'flight-proven' SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Florida's Launch Complex 39A at 22:53 UTC on October 11, 2017 carrying the SES 11 satellite into Geostationary Transfer Orbit. The 5,200-Kilogram SES 11 enjoyed a flawless ride to its high-energy orbital destination, separating from the launch vehicle 36 minutes after launch to begin a 15-year mission delivering broadcasting services to North America. The 1st stage booster - having first flown on the Dragon SpX-10 mission in February - successfully landed on the 'Of Course I Still Love You' Drone Ship, extending SpaceX's streak of successful recoveries to fourteen.
