SpaceX launched 60 more Starlink satellites into space on early Thursday morning, from Kennedy Space Center at 3:24am EST.
The launch comes after a previous bid to send its reusable Falcon 9 rocket into space was scrubbed with under two minutes to spare, earlier this week.
Falcon 9 successfully returned to Earth and landed on SpaceX’s autonomous droneship, ‘Of Course I Still Love You’, in the Atlantic Ocean.
The launch takes the total number of Starlink satellites launched to 1,205 total, according to SpaceNews, which points out 60 have been de-orbited since.
