SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket Monday from Cape Canaveral with 46 more satellites for the company’s Starlink broadband network, deploying the internet relay payloads in a higher orbit than recent flights after atmospheric drag brought down more nearly 40 Starlink spacecraft from the previous mission.

A Falcon 9 rocket set for launch Monday will deploy the SpaceX’s next batch of Starlink internet satellites into a higher, more circular orbit than the last few flights, reducing the potential risk to the satellites from a solar storm like the one that destroyed at least 38 Starlink spacecraft earlier this month.
