SpaceX aims to set up a constellation of satellites to form a global broadband internet system.
Starlink Satellites
The rocket ferried 133 commercial and government spacecraft, as well as 10 Starlink satellites.
SpaceX wants to envelope Earth with up to 42,000 satellites.
The launch brings SpaceX's satellite constellation up to 240, making it the largest in orbit to date.
SpaceX now has 180 spacecraft in orbit, bringing the company even closer to having the most satellites around Earth at once.
With the 60 satellites set for launch, SpaceX will have delivered 180 signal relay stations to orbit for the company’s Starlink Internet network.
It has been reported that currently, each Starlink satellite is brighter than expected, and visible at dusk and dawn.
