SpaceX launched its Falcon 9 rocket carrying the SXM-10 satellite for SiriusXM early Saturday, marking another success despite rising political tensions.

SpaceX has successfully completed the launch of its Falcon 9 rocket, delivering the SiriusXM SXM-10 satellite into geosynchronous transfer orbit from Cape Canaveral, Florida. The satellite, built by Maxar Technologies, will enhance SiriusXM’s satellite radio services. This marks the Falcon 9’s eighth flight, having previously supported high-profile missions including NASA’s Crew-9. The launch comes during a turbulent week for SpaceX as CEO Elon Musk’s feud with U.S. President Donald Trump intensifies, potentially endangering $22 billion in government contracts and putting several U.S. space programs at risk.
