Live coverage: Ariane 5 rocket deploys satellites for Australia, India

SpaceX test-fired nine Merlin engines Saturday before the company’s next launch from Cape Canaveral, clearing a key readiness test before liftoff as soon as Sunday night with 60 more Starlink internet satellites.

SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket disintegrated shortly after launch from Cape Canaveral on Sunday, dealing a blow to the entrepreneurial space company and NASA’s supply chain to the International Space Station.

India’s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle is scheduled to deploy the fifth satellite in the country’s regional navigation network Wednesday.
