An SES satellite at 67°W serving Latin America, launched on SpaceX's first Falcon 9 to use a previously flown first stage — a milestone that marked the dawn of the reusable rocket era in commercial satellite launches. SES was the customer who gave SpaceX the commercial contract to validate that a reused orbital booster was technically and commercially viable, a decision that transformed the economics of the entire space launch industry.
