SpaceX launched another set of satellites Feb. 25 as the company emphasizes its commitment to space sustainability. A Falcon 9 lifted off from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California at 12:12 pm EST (1712 GMT) and released 50 Starlink satellites into orbit about an hour later. The launch came just four days after another Starlink launch from Florida. Between the launches, SpaceX issued a lengthy statement describing its commitment to safe, sustainable operation in space through the use of autonomous collision avoidance systems and injecting satellites into low orbits, among other measures.
