SpaceX has successfully completed its first launch of a commercial satellite into geostationary transfer orbit (GTO). This marks the seventh ever flight of the SpaceX Falcon launch system, and the second launch of the recently upgraded Falcon 9 v1.1 rocket. Impressively, except for a small glitch on its fourth flight, SpaceX has retained a perfect launch record. SES actually got a discount from SpaceX for the launch, presumably due to the added risk of this being the company's first attempt to reach GTO.
