New Delhi:
SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket flew away from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center on Saturday night after several postpones a week. The mission deployed 21 Starlink satellites into class, 13 of which featured direct-to-cell capabilities aimed at improving mobile connectivity worldwide.
The liftoff introduced a breathtaking view to the audience, especially along the space coast of Florida. Depending on their convenience point, people were treated with an extraordinary view because the rocket appeared to glide in front of the full moon in the sky or directly.
SpaceX celebrated an important milestone, sharing the moment on its official X (East Twitter) account. “Falcon 9 is away from Florida, adding 21 @Starlink to the constellations and completes our 400th overall mission with flight-ride boosters nearly eight years after our first successful reflective.”

As Space.comThe first phase of Falcon 9, B1083, separated from the upper stage to 2.5 minutes in flight, successfully landing on SpaceX’s droneship ‘deficiency of gravitus’ after six minutes. The upper phase continued its climb, deploying 21 starlink satellites, including 13 to reduce mobile dead zone with cell technology.
About an hour later, satellites began maneuvers in their classrooms to join SpaceX’s growing network, now include more than 7,000 satellites providing global, high -speed internet.
