SpaceX TAMPA, Fla. — SpaceX successfully deployed another 53 Starlink satellites Nov. 13 in its first dedicated launch for the broadband constellation in two months. A Falcon 9 carrying its latest batch of Starlink satellites lifted off from Cape Canaveral in Florida at 7:19 a.m. Eastern, a day after being scrubbed because of poor weather. All the satellites were successfully deployed to low Earth orbit where they will join the rest of the Starlink constellation, according to SpaceX. The Falcon 9’s reusable first stage also landed on SpaceX’s drone ship after successfully completing its ninth flight.
