SpaceX launched a set of Starlink satellites and two rideshare payloads Saturday. The Falcon 9 lifted off from the Kennedy Space Center at 6:56 pm EDT (2256 GMT) and deployed its primary payload of 52 Starlink satellites more than 90 minutes after liftoff. A half-hour earlier, it deployed two secondary payloads. One was a synthetic aperture radar satellite for Capella, while the other was a satellite called Tyvak-0129 by Tyvak Nano-Satellite Systems, details of which neither SpaceX nor Tyvak disclosed.
