On May 24, 2019 at 02:30 UTC the "Falcon 9” rocket-carrier was launched from SLC-40 of Cape Canaveral launch site of US Air Force, Florida. The launch was performed by the "SpaceX” private company supported by the 45th Space Wing of US Air Force. The rocket orbited 60 “Starlink” satellites. The “Starlink” is a satellite constellation development project underway by US “SpaceX” company. The 60 small satellites will be joined by hundreds more “Starlink” spacecraft over the next year to fill out the network’s preliminary constellation. The “SpaceX” says that thousands of Starlink satellites may be launched to provide high-speed Internet services to consumers around the world. Attachments: |
