As part of the deployment of a global Internet communication system, 4.2 thousand of the company’s devices are already operating in orbit.

The Falcon 9 launch successfully launched another batch of 52 mini-satellites into orbit to replenish the orbital constellation of the Starlink Internet network. The company announced this on June 12 SpaceX.

The launch was carried out from the launch pad at Cape Canaveral in Florida at 03:10 US East Coast time (10:10 Kyiv time).

The reusable first stage of the launch vehicle, used for launch for the ninth time, made a controlled vertical landing on an offshore drone platform in the Atlantic about nine minutes after launch.

This is the 89th launch under the Starlink project since May 2019 and 20th since the beginning of this year.

In total, SpaceX has carried out 89 launches of Internet satellites since May 2019 as part of the Starlink project (20 since the beginning of this year). During this period, 4.6 thousand devices were launched into orbit, some of which failed or were lost.

Today more than 4.2 thousand mini-satellites remain in space in working order.

Recall that at the end of May, the SpaceX ship returned to Earth space tourists who spent ten days on the International Space Station as part of the private AX-2 mission.
