SpaceX launches second set of Gen2 Starlink satellites
Posted: Sun, Jan 29 10:04 AM ET (1504 GMT) SpaceX launched another set of Starlink satellites early Thursday. A Falcon 9 lifted off from Cape Canaveral at 4:32 am EST (0932 GMT), deploying 56 Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit. The rocket's first stage, making its ninth flight, landed on a droneship in the Atlantic. This was the second launch of Starlink satellites to orbits authorized by the FCC for the "Gen2" second-generation Starlink system, although the satellites appear similar to those in the first-generation constellation. SpaceX said the combined mass of the satellites, more than 17.4 metric tons, made it the heaviest payload launched by the Falcon 9.
