Cape Canaveral S.F.S., FL – In the wee hours of Wednesday August 5th, SpaceX woke up the Space Coast with the BlueBird Mission.  Under hazy/cloudy skies, the launch came at 3:49 AM EDT from Launch Complex 40 sending the BlueBird 11, 12 and 13 satellites into orbit.  The BlueBird Satellites are communication satellites designed for cellular network coverage. This was the 30th flight for booster B1077 which landed down range on the recovery ship A Shortfall of Gravitas.
