After several days of delays, SpaceX launched an Italian satellite into space from Florida on Monday.

The Falcon-9 rocket lifted off with the Earth observation satellite on-time at just after 6 p.m. local time.

The launch was scrubbed three times by weather and once when a cruise ship wandered too close to the no-go zone downrange of the launch pad.
