New Delhi: In a momentous achievement, SpaceX successfully launched 22 Starlink satellites on a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on Friday, August 5, 2023. This milestone marked the 54th launch for Starlink and propelled the total number of operational Starlink satellites in orbit to an impressive 4,100+.

The Starlink constellation, envisioned by SpaceX, aims to revolutionize internet access worldwide by providing high-speed connectivity to even the most remote and underserved regions. Placed in low Earth orbit, these satellites promise fast and reliable internet speeds to users across the globe.

The recent launch was executed flawlessly, with the Falcon 9 rocket lifting off from Cape Canaveral at 1:27 a.m. EDT and precisely deploying the satellites into orbit approximately 15 minutes later. Following the launch, the newly deployed satellites will undergo several weeks of preparation before becoming part of the ever-expanding Starlink constellation.
