Posted: Fri, Mar 12, 2021, 6:25 PM ET (2325 GMT)
SpaceX launched another set of Starlink satellites early this morning. The Falcon 9 lifted off from Cape Canaveral at 3:13 am EST (0813 GMT), deploying the 60 Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit 65 minutes later. The rocket's first stage completed its sixth flight with a landing on a drone ship. SpaceX now has 1,200 Starlink satellites in orbit, and launched 310 of them so far this year. The company announced this week it was extending a beta test of the Starlink service to Germany and New Zealand, and expanding coverage in the United Kingdom.
