Space X Transporter 7 launch and Falcon 9 first stage landing
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched Transporter7, SpaceXs seventh dedicated SmallSat Rideshare Program mission with 51 payloads, from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, on 14 April 2023, at 06:48 UTC (13 April, at 23:48 PDT). Falcon 9s first stage landed on Landing Zone 4 (LZ4) at Vandenberg Space Force Base. Falcon 9s first stage (B1063) previously supported nine missions: Sentinel6 Michael Freilich, DART, and seven Starlink missions. For the first time, a shorter second stage MVac nozzle was because Falcon 9 didnt need as much performance to get the payload to its final destination. Credit: SpaceX
