CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Monday morning.

SpaceX said the rocket, which blasted off at 9:56 a.m., is sending 60 satellites into orbit for the company's Starlink network.

Those satellites will join "a constellation of networked satellites known as Starlink" that were launched in May.

SpaceX said this is their "heaviest payload to date" and the "first Falcon 9 to fly a fourth mission."
