SpaceX Successfully Delivers 60 Starlink Satellites Into Orbit

Hawthorne-based SpaceX successfully delivered 60, Starlink communications satellites into orbit last night, the first of what is planned to be thousands of low earth orbit satellites designed to provide Internet communications anywhere in the world. SpaceX launched its satellites into space from Cape Canaveral, and also succesfully landed the Falcon 9 on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship. The solar powered SpaceX Starlink satellites are intended to blanket the globe with what SpaceX said will be "reliable and affordable high-speed broadband services".
