SpaceX launched another set of Starlink satellites Wednesday. A Falcon 9 lifted off at 2:59 pm EDT (1859 GMT) from Cape Canaveral, Florida, and deployed 60 Starlink satellites into orbit 64 minutes later. The rocket's first stage, on just its second flight, landed on a droneship. The launch marked the 40th mission where SpaceX reused at least one of the two halves of the rocket's payload fairing, with one of the fairing halves on this mission making its fifth flight.
