Live updates from Tuesday's SpaceX Maxar 3 mission that launched a Falcon 9 rocket from NASA's Kennedy Space Center and sparked Florida sonic booms.

As that description notes, the WorldView Legion spacecraft are capable of resolving features as small as 12 inches (30 centimeters) on Earth's surface. SpaceX also launched the first four members of the constellation, sending WorldView Legion 1 and 2 up in May 2024 and lofting WorldView Legion 3 and 4 in August that same year.

SpaceX launched a commercial satellite from Florida on Tuesday evening. The space company had warned that one or more sonic booms could be heard across parts of Central Florida upon landing of the Falcon 9's first-stage booster.
