Elon Musk’s SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying 53 Starlink Internet satellites lifted off from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. All satellites were successfully launched into low Earth orbit. The satellites will provide enhanced broadband access for activities such as video calls and live streaming.
The first stage booster used for missions such as Transporter-2 and GPS III-3 landed on the unmanned craft in the Atlantic Ocean after completing today’s mission. SpaceX tweeted that this was the 100th successful mission for this type of rocket.
Starlink is a global satellite system deployed by SpaceX to provide high-speed broadband satellite Internet access in places where it was unreliable, expensive or completely unavailable.
