SpaceX launches Starlink satellites from Florida
Posted: Sat, Nov 9 10:00 AM ET (1500 GMT) SpaceX launched a set of Starlink satellites Thursday after several days of delays. A Falcon 9 lifted off from Cape Canaveral at 3:19 pm EST (2019 GMT) and deployed 23 Starlink satellites. A problem with ground equipment supplying helium to the rocket's first stage scrubbed a launch attempt Sunday and the company postponed a launch attempt Wednesday.

SpaceX sets Nov. 18 launch date for sixth Starship test flight
Posted: Sat, Nov 9 9:57 AM ET (1457 GMT)
SpaceX plans to perform the next Starship test flight as soon as mid-November. The company announced Wednesday that the sixth integrated test flight of Starship/Super Heavy is scheduled for the afternoon of Nov. 18 from the Starbase launch site at Boca Chica, Texas. The upcoming flight will feature incremental changes from the previous flight in October, including doing an in-flight relight of a Raptor engine on Starship and testing changes to the vehicle's thermal protection system. The afternoon launch, rather than a morning liftoff of previous flights, will enable a splashdown in the Indian Ocean during daylight hours. SpaceX also plans to catch the Super Heavy booster back at the launch tower on this flight.
