SpaceX’s Bandwagon-5 rideshare mission was visible from parts of Southwest Florida after launching from Cape Canaveral on Tuesday morning.
The Falcon 9 lifted off shortly after 7 a.m. from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, according to Gulf Coast News. The mission carried 32 payloads, including cubesats, microsatellites and reentry vehicles.
Viewers photographed the rocket moving through the morning sky from locations including downtown Fort Myers, Deep Creek and Bonita Springs. Gulf Coast News reported that the launch did not create as strong a “jellyfish” effect as a launch the previous week, though the rocket remained visible across the Gulf Coast sky.
