SES company first to use 'second-hand' SpaceX rocket

Quote

Luxembourg-based SES says it is going to be the first commercial satellite operator to launch a spacecraft on a "second-hand" rocket.

The company is booked to fly its SES-10 platform on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket that was previously used to send cargo to the space station in April.

The booster, after completing its ascent, returned to a touchdown on a drone ship in the Atlantic.

It has since been serviced and declared fit to fly again.
