Less than two weeks after the Demo-2 mission that brought two astronauts to the ISS, Space X made a new launch with Falcon 9 as part of the Starlink mission. The rocket, which took off from Cape Canaveral at 5:12 am local time, brought 58 Starlink satellites and three Planet Labs spacecraft to orbit that will be observing Earth. The mission will bring the number of Starlink satellites in low Earth orbit to over 500, while Planet’s SkySat fleet will reach 18.
