SpaceX launches 4,500-kg Arabsat satellite after 4 days of delay

SpaceX launched a nearly 4,500-kg telecommunications satellite to orbit on Saturday after four days of delay due to thick cloud cover. A video showed SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket topped with the Arabsat BADR-8 satellite lifting off from Florida, with the rocket's first stage landing on a SpaceX's droneship later. The satellite will provide television broadcast and data services, among others.
