The upper stage of the rocket continued towards Leo, finally deploying the 27 Starlink satellites there approximately one hour in flight. Each satellite will maneuver in more specific orbits within the megaconstellation of Starlink in the next few days.
The Spacex Starlink Network consists of more than 7,600 operational satellites and counting. In general, they operate on a network that provides a coverage blanket to almost the entire planet. Starlink offers users a high -speed Internet connection from anywhere where customers can point out their Starlink receiver to the sky (apart from the poles).
The launch of tonight was the 68th Falcon 9 mission of Spacex of 2025 and the 71st general takeoff so far this year. The additional three were Starship test flights, the next-generation super-ift-lift rocket of Spacex, which was launched more recently on May 27.
