After being delayed on Tuesday, SpaceX launched its second Falcon9 rocket of 2018 on Wednesday.

The previously used rocket sent up a satellite for the government of Luxembourg. This rocket's first stage was previously launched in May 2017. 

The two-stage SpaceX Falcon9 rocket successfully launched at 4:25 p.m. on Wednesday from Florida's Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. 

Tuesday's launched was scrubbed due to a stage sensor issue.
