"Space X" indicated that the missile was launched from Cape Canaveral in Florida.
The official in the company said that "Falcon 9" was carrying 133 commercial and government satellites, in addition to ten satellites of "SpaceX".
"This is the largest number ever" of satellites sent "during one mission," he added.
SpaceX reported in a series of tweets that the 143 satellites had been successfully deployed.

In light of fears expressed by scientists about the number of objects orbiting around the world, «Space X» confirms that its satellites are designed to burn in the atmosphere within a few years.
