Space X has launched 58 satellites




SpaceX has completed the second of a projected record four launches, sending another batch of Starlink internet satellites into low Earth orbit.
While it is the ninth launch of Starlink satellites, it is the first to include satellites from multiple companies - the first-ever Rideshare launch, part of a series that will help bring satellites from companies like Planet Labs, Exolaunch and Momentus Space into Earth orbit.
The Rideshare Mission program aims to provide a “flexible, low-cost” method of transporting satellites to low Earth orbit, according to NasaSpaceflight.com.
The Saturday launch saw a Falcon 9 rocket carrying 58 Starlink satellites as well as 3 Planet Labs Inc. satellites. SpaceX has already carried a number of satellites into space for the likes of Planet Labs before, but the Rideshare Mission launches will see more trips in a greater frequency.
