Elon Musk-owned SpaceX launches record number of orbits on Sunday AFP.
The rocket took off from the launch pad at Cape Canaveral, Florida at 10:00 (15:00 GMT) local time, a day after the originally scheduled launch, which was postponed due to bad weather. The Falcon 9 rocket carried 133 commercial and government satellites, as well as 10 SpaceX satellites, SpaceX manager Andy Tron said in a video. “These are the largest satellites ever placed in space on a single mission,” he said.
SpaceX operates its Falcon 9 rockets as part of a “rightshare” program in which many small companies pay Elon Musk-owned company to bring their technologies into space. In a series of messages posted on Twitter, SpaceX announced that all 143 satellites have been placed in orbit.

Many scientists have expressed concern about the existence of such large artificial objects that could orbit the earth. However, SpaceX representatives say these satellites are designed to decompose once they re-enter the atmosphere, after spending a few years in orbit.
