Default Nighttime rocket launch puts a record 29 satellites in orbit

"A spectacular rocket launch from Virginia's eastern shore late
Tuesday lit up the night sky like an artifical sun, kicking off
a record-breaking mission to put 29 satellites into orbit."

See:

Does the ability to orbit a large number of small-sats on a larger
booster limit the value of smaller boosters?

Clearly yes. But there are other important factors such as timing and
desired orbits that argue in the other direction.
