SpaceX launches 60 mini satellites for cheaper global Internet

Cape Canaveral: Elon Musk-run SpaceX has launched 60 “Starlink” satellites into low-Earth orbit from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida that will bring cheaper Internet access to the world.

The 60 mini satellites went into space aboard Falcon 9 rocket, ending a nearly three-month launch hiatus for the company.

The “Starlink” satellites will be deployed at an altitude of 280 km to beam broadband Internet services.
Prior to orbit raise, SpaceX engineers were to conduct data reviews to ensure all Starlink satellites are operating as intended.
