SpaceX successfully launched the last rocket of the year. The Falcon 9 rocket launched the Israeli EROS-C3 satellite into orbit.

The rocket was launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, Dec. 30 at 09:38 a.m. (EET). This was the 61st launch for Elon Musk in 2022. By comparison, SpaceX made only 31 launches in 2021.

Falcon 9 launched an Israeli remote sensing satellite into orbit. The first stage returned to the planet eight minutes after launch and landed on Landing Zone 4. By the way, previously Russian rockets were used to launch Israeli satellites into orbit.
