SpaceX Starlink launch: Falcon 9 is still a record-setting workhorse - CNET

A Falcon 9 launch can typically carry about 60 Starlink satellites.

This mission -- the company's 23rd mission of 2020 --  comes just a few days after SpaceX sent a new NASA and European Space Agency satellite to orbit.

On Saturday morning, another Falcon 9 blasted off from Vandenburg Air Force Base in California carrying the new NASA/European Space Agency Sentinel 6 Michael Freilich satellite designed to monitor global sea level rise and to improve weather forecasting.

SpaceX is chasing its first thousand Starlink satellites in low-Earth orbit as it works to expand its public beta test, currently being offered to a limited number of customers in Canada and the northern US.
