LoginSpaceX Launches 29 Starlink Satellites as It Accelerates Global Internet Expansion
Washington, June 05 (QNA) - SpaceX has launched 29 Starlink satellites into orbit, continuing its efforts to expand its global satellite internet network.
The company said a Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida after a brief delay caused by thunderstorms.
SpaceX confirmed that the rocket's first-stage booster successfully completed its 12th flight and later landed on the drone ship A Shortfall of Gravitas in the Atlantic Ocean.
The launch marked the company's 64th mission of the year and forms part of its ongoing program to grow the Starlink constellation in low-Earth orbit.
The mission came less than 19 hours after another Falcon 9 launch from the US West Coast, which deployed an additional 24 Starlink satellites.
SpaceX has been steadily increasing the size of its Starlink network, which provides broadband internet services through a vast constellation of satellites. The company says the network now consists of more than 10,000 satellites in orbit.
The latest deployment underscores SpaceX's rapid launch pace as it seeks to strengthen global internet coverage and expand access to satellite-based communications services worldwide. (QNA)
