SpaceX's Starlink Satellites Suffer Catastrophic Failure and Fall from Orbit

SpaceX successfully launched the Falcon 9 rocket carrying the Intelsat 40e satellite and NASA's Tropospheric Emissions Monitoring of Pollution instrument (TEMPO) from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The first-stage booster also successfully landed on a drone ship stationed in the Atlantic Ocean. The mission for Luxembourg-based satellite operator Intelsat will carry the satellite on an easterly trajectory from Launch Complex 40.
