SpaceX launched Argentina′s second SAOCOM radar satellite, SAOCOM-1B, on Aug 30, 2020. The Falcon 9 first stage returned for a landing at Canaveral′s Landing Zone 1. The second stage maneuvered south-westwards to complete the first polar orbit insertion from Florida since 1969.
The second stage then deployed two small satellites, the GNOMES-1 radio-occultation meteorology satellite for PlanetIQ, and Tyvak-0172 for Tyvak. The satellites are in a 600 km SSO with descending node at 17:52 local time.
