Billionaire Elon Musk’s space venture SpaceX launched a batch of Starlink satellites — the sixth launch for the programme in July alone, and the company’s 33rd launch of 2022.<\/p>\n
The satellites were launched on Sunday at 9.38 a.m. from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.<\/p>\n
This was the eighth flight for the Falcon 9 first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched GPS III Space Vehicle 04, GPS III Space Vehicle 05, Inspiration4, Ax-1, Nilesat 301, and now three Starlink missions, the company stated on its website.<\/p>\n
“Deployment of 53 Starlink satellites confirmed — completing SpaceX’s sixth mission this month!” SpaceX said in a tweet on Sunday.<\/p>\n
This Starlink launch follows a successful effort from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on July 22, which sent 46 Starlink satellites to orbit.<\/p>\n
About 2,900 Starlink satellites have been launched to date.<\/p>\n
Starlink provides high-speed, low-latency broadband internet across the globe. It is available for service in 36 countries and has more than 2,50,000 users globally.<\/p>\n
The company reportedly has regulatory approval to put at least 12,000 Starlink in orbit and is asking for an international regulator to lift another 30,000 satellites after that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
