SpaceX launches 60 more mini satellites for global internet GlobeBusiness

Last month, Musk used an orbiting Starlink satellite to send a tweet: “Whoa, it worked!!”

“These boosters are designed to be used 10 times. Let’s turn it around for a fifth, guys,” company’s launch commentator said. Stacked flat inside the top of the rocket, the newest satellites were going to manoeuvr even higher following liftoff, using krypton-powered thrusters. SpaceX said there was a potential problem with one of the 60 that could prevent it from moving beyond its initial 174 mile-high orbit. In that case, the faulty satellite will be commanded to re-enter and burn up harmlessly in the atmosphere.
