SpaceX is launching its latest batch of internet satellites, including one with a visor - The Verge

Update June 3rd, 9:43PM ET: SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket successfully took off at 9:25PM ET and deployed all 60 satellites into orbit.

Original story: Less than a week after sending its first astronauts into space, SpaceX is already preparing for another launch of its Falcon 9 rocket, though this flight will only carry satellites to orbit.

From the Florida coast, the company is slated to launch the latest batch of 60 internet-beaming satellites for its ever-growing Starlink constellation on Wednesday night.

For now, SpaceX is focused on the sunshade method, though the other 59 satellites on this launch will not include the new hardware.

Takeoff of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket is slated for 9:25PM ET out of the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.

SpaceX will attempt to land the Falcon 9 on one of its drone ships in the Atlantic following the launch, too, meaning it could even fly for a sixth time.

Two of SpaceX’s giant net-wielding boats will also attempt to catch the two halves of the rocket’s nose cone — the bulbous structure that shields the satellites at the top of the rocket during the climb to space.
