Due to the requirement for some extra time for pre-launch inspections, the US space exploration technology company SpaceX intends to delay the release of a new batch of stars until March 11, US Eastern Time.
This will be SpaceX’s second Starlink satellite launch mission this month. Earlier, at the beginning of this month, SpaceX’s Falcon 9′ rocket was launched from the launch pad of the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, successfully sending 60 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit.
As early as January 2015, Musk declared a satellite Internet service project that was named ‘Starlink‘ that aims to give users all over the world high-speed Internet access, especially in rural and remote areas.
The company originally planned to launch about 12,000 communications satellites into low-Earth orbit, but later the company was allowed to launch 30,000 satellites. In the future, the company may also choose to launch more satellites. SpaceX started a public beta test of its Starlink Internet service in the United States at the end of October last year.
Currently, the company is providing Starlink satellite Internet services to users in parts of the northern United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, but the company has declared intentions to increase its broadband Internet services to more countries.
