SpaceX said on Tuesday its partially reusable Falcon 9 rocket has completed the thirty-first and the final launch of this year, marking the twenty-fourth resupply mission to the International Space Station (ISS).
What Happened: $Tesla (TSLA.US)$ CEO Elon Musk-led company’s Falcon 9 rocket — a two-stage, heavy-lift launch vehicle — has returned to earth after sending the Dragon cargo ship toward the ISS.
The launch was broadcast live and the development was confirmed by NASA and SpaceX.
The ISS, weighing more than 6,500 pounds with the supplies, is expected to dock itself to the space station about 24 hours after the launch.
The Falcon 9 rocket took off at 5.07 a.m. ET on Tuesday from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.
The space company run by the billionaire entrepreneur had last year completed 26 missions and 21 launches in 2019.
The latest launch comes after back-to-back two launches over the weekend. The Falcon 9 first launched the company’s Starlink 52 internet satellites to orbit, designated the Group 4-4 mission. It later deployed Turkey's new telecommunication satellite.
Falcon 9 has been regularly launching since at least early 2018 now. Musk marveled at the feat from inception.
Why It Matters: Musk founded SpaceX with the mission to make humanity multi-planetary. He has in the past said he remains “highly confident” that SpaceX would land humans on Mars by 2026.
The Starship would eventually replace Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy, and Dragon 2 rockets and be able to carry much more mass into orbit.
The ambitious transportation system can also carry humanity to the moon, Mars and make interplanetary travel possible.
The Starship system was selected in April to assist NASA with its Artemis moon-landing program.

$Amazon (AMZN.US)$ India's antitrust agency on Friday suspended Amazon.com's 2019 deal with Future Group, potentially denting the U.S. company's attempts to block the sale of Future's retail assets to an Indian peer.
The regulator ruled that the U.S. e-commerce group had suppressed information while seeking regulatory approval on an investment into Indian retailer Future Group two years ago.
The ruling by the Competition Commission of India (CCI) could have far-reaching consequences for Amazon's legal battles with now estranged partner Future.
Amazon has for months successfully used the terms of its toehold $200 million investment in Future in 2019 to block the Indian retailer's attempt to sell retail assets to Reliance Industries for $3.4 billion.
The regulator's 57-page order said it considers "it necessary to examine the combination (deal) afresh," adding its approval from 2019 "shall remain in abeyance" until then.
The CCI's order said Amazon had "suppressed the actual scope" of the deal and had made "false and incorrect statements" while seeking approvals. The CCI order imposed a penalty of around 2 billion rupees ($27 million) on the U.S. company.
