SpaceX’s Triumph: 23 New Starlink Communications Satellites Launched, Marking a Significant Leap in Global Internet Constellation
According to source, SpaceX achieved a successful launch, deploying 23 additional Starlink communications satellites and expanding its internet constellation. The Falcon 9 rocket, taking off from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, executed a vertical landing on the “A Shortfall of Gravitas” droneship in the Atlantic Ocean, marking the sixth launch and landing for this specific booster.
The Starlink communications satellites were set to deploy into low Earth orbit approximately 65.5 minutes after liftoff. This launch significantly contributes to the growing Starlink communications satellites network, already consisting of over 5,000 operational satellites, facilitating global internet service. The successful landing of Falcon 9’s first stage underscores SpaceX’s commitment to reusability.
With regulatory approval for deploying 12,000 Starlink communications satellites in low Earth orbit and an application for an additional 30,000, SpaceX demonstrates its dedication to expanding the communications satellites network.
