SpaceX successfully launched its seventh Starlink mission in a row, sending 60 more internet-providing satellites into orbit. The mission was led by a reused Falcon 9 rocket which achieved its ninth successful mission. This milestone will be instrumental in SpaceX’s goal of providing broadband internet to parts of the world that currently have limited or no access to it. With these new satellites in orbit, SpaceX has now sent 420 Starlink satellites to space in the last seven months.
SpaceX launched their latest rocket carrying 60 internet-providing satellites from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. Several previous launches of the same type have increased the scope of the Starlink project, an effort to blanket the globe with reliable satellite internet. Once completed, the project will provide internet access to more people in remote areas of the world.
