A SpaceX Falcon 9 blasted into space from Cape Canaveral, Florida early on Monday morning. The rocket lifted off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station at 0045EDT (0445GMT), and carried a SES-12 communications satellite that was deployed about 32 minutes after lift off, according to SpaceX. It will help telephone companies, mobile network operators and internet service providers to deliver more reliable cellular backhaul and faster broadband service.
