SpaceX has released a time-lapse from the camera on-board the Falcon 9 rocket itself as it falls from the upper atmosphere back to earth.

As the Space Exploration Technologies Corporation known as SpaceX has landed another rocket on earth, an onboard camera provided some breathtaking footage of the journey.

This is the third rocket which SpaceX has managed to land on a platform of autonomous drone ship in the Atlantic.

The unmanned Falcon 9 rocket was sent to an orbital mission to launch an Asian communications satellite.

Before the successful project, the leftover rockets would have been abandoned in orbit, creating space junk. In close cooperation with NASA, the company carries cargo to the International Space Station.
