The company is seeking permission from the Federal Communications Commission to operate all of the satellites from an altitude that\u2019s lower than originally planned. There have been increasing complaints about the satellites\u2019 intrusive effect on observations of the night sky, but Musk tweeted that \u201cwe are taking some key steps to reduce satellite brightness.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket booster executed its fourth successful launch and landing as part of a mission that put 60 more Starlink broadband internet satellites into orbit, marking the seventh such mission.
