Incased you missed it, SpaceX successfully launched and landed 2 Falcon 9 missions **over the course of 2 days**. (Friday June 23rd and Sunday June 25th). This is even more impressive since Falcon 9 experienced its highest ever reentry force and heat during Friday’s launch. One thing that [Elon Musk](https://twitter.com/elonmusk), founder of [SpaceX](http://www.spacex.com/), seemed to be the most excited about for Falcon 9’s first launch was its new edition of “significantly upgraded hypersonic grid fins (made from) single piece cast & cut titanium” that can withstand reentry heat without any shielding. (Elon Musk) ![SpaceX Grid Fins.jpg-large.jpeg](https://blog.bliley.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog/SpaceX%20Grid%20Fins.jpg-large.jpeg?width=458&name=SpaceX%20Grid%20Fins.jpg-large.jpeg)*New hypersonic grid fins.

This mission involves launching a new [Intelsat](http://www.intelsat.com/) satellite into orbit that’s designed for broadband data delivery, Ultra HD television broadcasts, and services for mobile and government customers. According to Spaceflight Now, “The satellite will provide trans-Atlantic communications links, reaching customers across Latin America, the eastern United States and Canada, Africa and Europe.” Another huge step toward [100% global internet and communication coverage](https://blog.bliley.com/small-low-cost-constellation-satellites). SpaceX was originally hoping for the launch to happen this Saturday, but complications with the Intelsat satellite may push the launch back a few days. Currently, it looks like the launch is scheduled for Monday July 3rd, but may be able to launch Sunday if things work out in time for Intelsat. There is currently no input from SpaceX’s or Elon Musk’s social media accounts on this 3rd launch yet.
