Mesmerizing SpaceX video shows Starlink satellites being deployed
It's only March but SpaceX has already had a very busy year. The company has performed a number of tests with its Starship spacecraft while at the same time continuing a steady stream of launches of its Falcon 9 fleet. The latest launch happened in the early hours of Wednesday, with a Falcon 9 taking off in the darkness at Cape Canaveral's Launch Complex 40. The mission was yet another boost to the Starlink communications network, and a full batch of 60 satellites was deployed into orbit around Earth with no issues.
As is almost always the case, SpaceX had its cameras running everywhere, and that means we get a gorgeous look at the spacecraft deploying its satellite payload. The video, which was tweeted out by SpaceX and uses footage from the company's own live stream, is brief but also incredibly cool.
