Space X launches 60 more satellites to provide high-speed internet

Space X added to its mega constellation of satellites Monday – launching 60 into low altitude orbit.

The company hopes to begin providing high-speed internet service sometime this year to portions of the US and Canada.

Space X currently has 180 satellites in what it hopes will eventually be a fleet of at least 800 – providing reliable internet to every part of the world.

Not everyone is thrilled, though. The line of satellites is so bright that it can easily be seen from space.

Space X has applied a special coating to satellite this time around to see if it can prevent conflicts with astronomy equipment back on Earth.
