Three satellites for the Canadian Space Agency’s Earth-monitoring Radarsat program were launched into orbit from California on Wednesday aboard a reused SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.

The rocket lifted off from fog-shrouded Vandenberg Air Force Base at 7:17 a.m. and arced over the Pacific west of Los Angeles.
The first stage separated a few minutes into flight and headed back to the coastal base, extended its legs and set down on a landing zone.
The first stage previously was used in March for a demonstration flight of SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule.
The Radarsat Constellation Mission satellites were deployed a few minutes apart from the upper stage about an hour after liftoff.
