The rocket soared over Antarctica and then headed north over the Indian Ocean, setting up for a brief restart of its engine to inject the COSMO-SkyMed radar satellite into the proper orbit. The spacecraft, with a launch mass of about 2.2 metric tons (4,850 pounds), separated from the Falcon 9 upper stage an hour after liftoff at an altitude of 392 miles (631 kilometers).
The satellite is the second in a new generation of COSMO-SkyMed radar imaging spacecraft. The fleet is intended for military and civilian use, and is funded by the Italian Space Agency, the Italian Ministry of Defense and the Italian Ministry of Universities and Research.
Each COSMO-SkyMed Second Generation, or CSG, spacecraft, is built by Thales Alenia Space. The satellite carries a radar instrument designed to observe Earth during day and night passes. After deploying from SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket, the CSG 2 satellite was expected to unfold its solar arrays and X-band radar antenna on its first day in space.
Thales Alenia Space confirmed in a press release early Tuesday that ground controllers in Fucino, Italy, established communication with the CSG 2 satellite about 15 minutes after separation from the Falcon 9 rocket. (...)

(...) B1052—which served as a side-booster for the Falcon Heavy when it lofted Saudi Arabia’s powerful Arabsat 6A communications satellite to orbit in April 2019 and the 24-satellite Space Test Program (STP)-2 payload the following June—lifted off as a “converted” Falcon 9 from storied Space Launch Complex (SLC)-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Fla., at 6:11 p.m. EST. It successfully delivered a powerful radar-imaging satellite into near-polar orbit on behalf of the Italian Space Agency (ASI). (...)
