Original Story: Just a week after launching a GPS satellite for the Space Force, SpaceX is back with another launch of its internet-beaming Starlink satellites.

The company’s Falcon 9 rocket is slated to take off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, today, launching 57 Starlink spacecraft as well as two hitchhiking Earth observation satellites from operator BlackSky.

The company has permission to launch nearly 12,000 Starlink satellites from the Federal Communications Commission, a swarm of spacecraft that will beam internet coverage to every point of the globe.

After this launch, SpaceX will have launched 595 of its Starlink satellites (though at least one has come out of orbit, while a few others have failed since making it to space).

Today’s mission is the second Starlink launch to include another company’s satellites along for the ride.

But on a previous launch in June, SpaceX launched 58 Starlink satellites as well as three tiny imaging satellites from the company Planet.

After the first launch of SpaceX’s satellites, astronomers noticed just how bright the spacecraft appeared in the sky, and scientists grew worried that such a massive constellation of shiny satellites would interfere with their observations of the Universe.
