SpaceX Launches Next-Gen Starlink Satellites for Improved Speed and Capacity.

SpaceX is set to launch 47 Starlink internet satellites on Thursday at 3:19 a.m. EDT from California's Vandenberg Space Force Base. The Falcon 9 rocket's first stage will return to Earth and land on the SpaceX droneship Of Course I Still Love You. The upper stage will deploy the satellites in low Earth orbit. SpaceX has launched nearly 4,600 Starlink satellites and has permission to deploy 12,000 more. The launch will be followed by a United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy rocket launch from Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
