The 29th Commercial resupply services mission to tie International Space Station operated by SpaceX is viewed from Lake Santa Fe, Florida as it flies in a Northern trajectory from launch complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center during Thursday evenings launch. Also visible in this photo is the booster return to landing zone 1.
Take note of the burn-back maneuver at the end of the arc, where after stage separation, the booster begins its return to the launch site, a magical sight to behold! This is the second flight of booster B1081.
