SpaceX launched another set of Starlink satellites Thursday. The Falcon 9 lifted off at 1:51 pm EDT (1751 GMT) from Cape Canaveral's Space Launch Complex 40 after winds postponed an initial launch opportunity nearly three hours earlier. The rocket placed 53 Starlink satellites into orbit while the first stage, on its 12th flight, landed on a droneship in the Atlantic. The launch was the 15th this year for SpaceX.
