MISSION OVERVIEW
SpaceX successfully launched the European Space Agency’s Euclid space telescope aboard a Falcon 9 Block 5 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The mission sent Euclid on a trajectory toward the Sun-Earth L2 Lagrange point, where it will conduct a six-year survey to study dark matter and dark energy. This launch marked a significant collaboration between SpaceX and ESA, with Euclid designed to map the geometry of the universe across 10 billion years of cosmic history.
