Washington: The American aerospace company SpaceX has launched 29 new satellites into space as part of its Starlink constellation.
The company stated that a Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, carrying the satellites to low Earth orbit (LEO), and successfully deployed them approximately one hour after launch.
The Starlink service continues to provide high-speed internet to underserved regions worldwide, enabling satellite connectivity and offering in-flight Wi-Fi for participating airlines.
This launch marks the 19th flight for a Falcon 9 rocket this year and the 602nd mission in the company's history involving the Starlink constellation, which currently consists of more than 9,600 active units in orbit.
