SpaceX Launches New Batch of Starlink Satellites With Falcon 9

FLORIDA – SpaceX successfully launched another 23 Starlink satellites into orbit Tuesday from Cape Canaveral, Florida.

The Falcon 9 liftoff marks the latest in a rapid rollout, with over 8,000 satellites deployed since 2019, as the company builds out its global internet network now serving more than 5 million users in 125 countries.

The pace has ramped up to at least one mission a week, each boosting the system’s bandwidth and replacing older satellites, as Starlink increasingly attracts attention from militaries and intelligence agencies for secure communications.
