SpaceX is having a busy few days — having just beat its record for number of launches per year, the company is performing yet another launch tomorrow, Sunday, July 24. This will be another launch of Starlink satellites, and the launch will be livestreamed by SpaceX. We’ve got all the details on how to watch below.
Starlink has also been used to provide internet following natural disasters or in places experiencing war, such as a service provided in Ukraine following the Russian invasion there. However, Starlink has not been without its controversies. Astronomers have raised concerns that the number of satellites being launched, along with their low orbit, could jeopardize research efforts due to the sunlight that they reflect.
“The first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched GPS III Space Vehicle 04, GPS III Space Vehicle 05, Inspiration4, Ax-1, Nilesat 301, and two Starlink missions,” SpaceX writes on its website. “Following stage separation, Falcon 9’s first stage will return to Earth and land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.”
