    SpaceX launched another 52 of its Starlink internet satellites to orbit Saturday evening (Sept. 24) and also aced a rocket landing at sea.

    A Falcon 9 rocket topped with 52 Starlink spacecraft lifted off from
    Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station Saturday at 7:32 p.m. EDT
    (2332 GMT).

    Starting next year, SpaceX will begin launching Starlink Version 2
    satellites, which will be much bigger and more capable than the current iteration. V2 spacecraft will be able to beam connectivity directly to smartphones, and will do so for T-Mobile customers via a project called "Coverage Above and Beyond," SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk announced
    last month.
