SpaceX succeeded in launching the ninth reusable rocket Falcon 9. The Falcon 9 rocket transported into space is 60 satellites used for the satellite Internet service Starlink.
SpaceX is launching thousands of small satellites into Earth’s orbit, creating a huge broadband network and building StarLink, a service that uses high-speed Internet connections anywhere on the planet. Starlink successfully launched its first satellite in May 2019 after receiving FCC approval from the Federal Communications Commission in 2018. The number of satellites required to build Starlink service continues to increase in stages.
Starlink has already started service in some regions and test user reactions are coming out. To participate in the StarLink public beta test, you must pay $99 per month and purchase the StarLink Kit, a user terminal that connects to a Wi-Fi router or satellite, for $499.
The Falcon 9 rocket was launched on March 14 (local time) carrying such a Starlink satellite. After launch, Falcon 9 succeeded in landing on the deck of an unmanned ship (Of Course I Still Love You) anchored in the Atlantic Ocean. SpaceX also posted a successful launch tweet saying that it has confirmed the deployment of 60 Starlink satellites, as well as images of Falcon 9 and flying into space.
The Falcon 9 used for this launch is a rocket that has been used five times to launch Starlink satellites, and is also the aircraft used in Demo-1, a demonstration experiment using a manned spacecraft crew dragon. SpaceX has been licensed to launch 12,000 Starlink satellites, and has put more than 1,000 satellites into orbit so far. Also, on March 21, 2021, the next satellite launch for Starlink is scheduled.
