Elon Musk's SpaceX is putting the finishing touches to its first attempt at relaunching a rocket.
The firm today fired the nine first-stage engines of a previously flown Falcon 9 in the final pre-flight test to clear the way for launch of an SES communications satellite on Thursday.
The historic launch will see the Dragon, which was first launched on April 8, 2016 and was the first the firm managed to land on a droneship, take to the skies again.
