The payload was a Canadian communications and weather satellite called CASSIOPE.

The MDA Corporation, which built the Cassiope satellite, reported that the small research platform was performing as expected after being ejected by the Falcon's second stage.

Cassiope, a project of the Canadian Space Agency, will study the Sun's interaction with Earth's upper atmosphere.

It's certainly a huge relief to have successfully delivered Cassiope to orbit.

Cassiope, which is designed to monitor the space environment around Earth and serve as a communications satellite, and five secondary payloads were delivered into their intended orbits, Musk told reporters on a conference call.
