SpaceX successfully launched 23 Starlink satellites into space, further expanding their already vast Starlink internet megaconstellation.
The launch occurred in the late hours of November 27th from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The Falcon 9 rocket was the vessel responsible for this mission.
Furthermore, the first stage of the Falcon 9 successfully landed on the droneship “Just Read the Instructions,” marking its 17th launch and landing thus far.
The Starlink satellites, on the other hand, were expected to deploy from the Falcon 9’s upper stage into low Earth orbit approximately 65.5 minutes after liftoff, significantly enhancing the expansive network’s capabilities.
Moreover, if you’re enthusiastic about space exploration, you can now own a unique Die Cast Rocket Model of SpaceX’s Starship available on Amazon for $69.99. This iconic model replicates SpaceX’s Starship and is a great addition to any space enthusiast’s collection.
As of now, there are over 5,000 operational Starlink satellites orbiting Earth, with approvals for an additional 42,000 in the future. This indicates that the Starlink network will continue to grow and expand, providing global internet service to people around the world.
