SpaceX launches 60 Starlink Internet satellites into orbit

Live Mint  

NEW DELHI: Within days of sending two NASA astronauts to ISS on Falcon 9 rocket, SpaceX has now launched 60 new internet satellites into orbit using another Falcon 9. The company intends to launch 12,000 internet satellites into the lower orbit to provide reliable high speed broadband internet on Earth through space. Low flying satellites have large, flat antennas that can reflect sunlight, causing extremely bright flash of light visible on earth. Since they are placed in a lower orbit they have a small coverage area compared to communication satellites that operate in medium earth orbit between 2,000 km and 35,000 km or the larger satellites in geosynchronous orbit, which are placed above 35,000 km.
