SpaceX Falcon 9 Returns To Los Angeles

The first stage of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched on Sunday from Vandenberg Air Force base has just returned to Los Angeles, to the Port of Los Angeles, after a successful landing on Sunday afternoon. The Falcon 9 was used to launch ten Iridium satellites into space. The Falcon 9 successfully landed on the drone ship "Just Read the Instructions", which was just towed back to port on Wednesday. SpaceX has not said if it will re-fly the first stage of this particular rocket, however, it has already re-used several, returned first stage of its rockets, including one which delivered a payload to the ISS earlier this month.
