SpaceX Delays Starlink Launch Until Later This Week

SpaceX has delayed its launch of its first set of Starlink satellites, the first 60 of thousands of low earth orbit (LEO) satellites SpaceX is deploying to offer up Internet access anywhere in the world, until later this week. SpaceX said late Thursday evening that it was "standing down to update satellite software and triple-check everything again." SpaceX had already delayed the launch earlier in the week due to high upper level winds. The SpaceX Falcon 9 which is scheduled to put the first Starlink satellites into space is launching from Cape Canaveral, Florida.
