The video (below) was captured during Wednesday night’s launch to deploy a Swedish broadband satellite as part of the Ovzon 3 mission from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, and shows the Merlin vacuum engine on the Falcon 9 rocket’s second stage as it powers the payload to orbit.
SpaceX also shared a set of stunning images from the mission that show the Falcon 9 lifting off, as well as the safe return of the first-stage booster.
