Video: Antares rocket returns to flight with new engines

Sixty more satellites launched Thursday from the Kennedy Space Center to join SpaceX’s Starlink fleet, adding coverage to the broadband network as it is already “well into the first phase of testing.”

The spacecraft was originally scheduled to dock with the International Space Station the morning of Wednesday, Sept. 17. An alternate plan is in the works.

Astronaut Mark Vande Hei and Japanese crewmate Norishige Kanai floated outside the International Space Station Friday, repositioned two robot arm grapple mechanisms following repair work last month and carried out a variety of “get-ahead” tasks before calling it a day.
