The mission lifted off from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base.
The Falcon 9 first-stage booster assigned to the mission is making its 26th flight, adding another milestone to its impressive flight history.
Following stage separation, the reusable first stage landed on the "Of Course I Still Love You" droneship stationed in the Pacific Ocean, continuing SpaceX's routine booster recovery operations.
