Tomorrow morning @SpaceX will attempt it’s second west coast Return to Launch Site booster landing. It’s pretty special to have the landing zone just a few hundred feet from the launch pad. Can’t wait to see if my remote cameras catch launch *and* landing. 🤞@NASASpaceflight

In a few short hours, this @SpaceX rocket will launch into orbit an advanced Earth observation satellite system for Canada, the RADARSAT Constellation Mission. We are proud to have been the prime contractor for this incredible program. #Godspeed #RCMSatellites #CdnSpace @csa_asc
