As part of the deployment of the global Internet communication system, more than 4.1 thousand of the company’s devices operate in orbit.

SpaceX has launched 52 Starlink internet satellites into orbit. This was announced on May 31 by the company’s press service.

It was noted that the Falcon 9 launch vehicle was launched from the pad at the US Space Force Vandenberg Base in California on Tuesday at 23:02 US Pacific Time (Wednesday at 09:02 Kyiv time).

The rocket’s reusable first stage, which was used 14 times for launch, made a controlled vertical landing on an offshore drone platform in the Pacific Ocean about nine minutes after launch.

In total, SpaceX has launched 87 Internet satellite launches since May 2019 as part of the Starlink project (18 since the beginning of this year). During this time, 4.4 thousand devices were launched into orbit, some of which failed or were lost.

Today more than 4.1 thousand mini-satellites remain in space in order.

It will be recalled that on May 21, Axiom Space sent tourists to the ISS using the SpaceX spacecraft.
