After its top executives hinted that their company would aim at launching an unprecedented 100 missions this year, SpaceX shared some remarkable footage from its latest launch of two satellites early in the evening yesterday. SpaceX launched two satellites for the European telecommunications services provider SES S.A. late last week, with the mission targeting a significantly higher altitude than the company's own Starlink satellites. The launch was SpaceX's second launch in less than five hours. It placed the two spacecraft on a trajectory for a geosynchronous transfer orbit, which is further up than the low Earth orbit (LEO) typically used by the Starlink spacecraft.

SpaceX's two satellite launch for SES saw the company use its workhorse Falcon 9 rocket to successfully conduct its 19th mission this year and its ninth overall launch for SES. The launch also provided spectacular visuals, with the Falcon 9's nine Merlin 1D engines blackening out the evening sky in Florida as they lit up to lift the rocket from the Vandenberg Space Force Base in Florida at 7:38 pm local time.

The Falcon 9's liftoff was accompanied by rare visuals of the rocket's first and second stages separating from a ground tracking camera. SpaceX's feed generally shifts to the inside of the first stage at the time of stage separation. Still, this time, the camera also tracked the two stages separating from each other and the fairing separation on the second stage. Similar views from a Falcon 9 launch of the COSMO-SkyMed earth observation satellite for the Italian Space Agency were shared during its launch early last
