SpaceX launches another batch of Starlink satellites, more to come Wednesday - CNET

SpaceX shared this scenic view of a Falcon 9 being readied for launch earlier this year.

After "Scrubtember" and then "Scrubtober" played havoc with the SpaceX launch schedule, Elon Musk's rocket company is hustling to get more of its Starlink broadband satellites into orbit.

The company's 14th batch of orbiting routers was sent aloft from Cape Canaveral in Florida Sunday morning, and another set of 60 or so satellites is scheduled to launch from Florida on Wednesday, according to airspace closures.

Sunday's launch came courtesy of a tower of flames out the end of a Falcon 9 rocket first stage that was making the sixth flight of its career.

A SpaceX mission to launch a new military GPS satellite and a ULA launch of a US spy satellite remain grounded while technical problems continue to be worked out. .
