SpaceX has achieved a significant milestone with its Starlink program, reaching a total of 7,001 satellites in low Earth orbit following a recent launch from Florida.
The latest launch featured 21 satellites, including 13 with Direct-to-Cell capabilities, aiming to provide direct internet services to smartphones across the globe.
Notably, this Falcon 9 launch showcased the reusable capability of the rocket, as it successfully landed back on the 'Just Read the Instructions' droneship in the Atlantic after deployment.
Subsequent to a previous first-stage anomaly that delayed launches, the FAA allowed SpaceX to resume operations, emphasizing the continuous advancement of the Starlink initiative.
