SpaceX successfully lands rocket on ship, launches satellite into orbit

One month after SpaceX successfully landed its Falcon 9 rocket booster on an ocean platform, the aerospace company did it again after delivering a Japanese communications satellite into orbit early Friday morning.

SpaceX launched the Falcon 9 from Cape Canaveral, Florida, around 1:20 a.m. A live web broadcast showed the first-stage booster touching down vertically on a barge in the Atlantic, off the Florida coast.
