Stunning images show a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying Starlink 'V2 mini' craft as it lifts off framed by the setting sun.
The finalized V2 units are also expected to be able to directly connect with smartphones.
The V2 minis that launched on Monday also feature new argon Hall thrusters designed by SpaceX engineers that enable them to maneuver very efficiently in orbit.that these thrusters deliver almost 2.5 times the thrust of the first generation of Starlink craft. The deployment aboard the Falcon 9 on Monday was the first time these new thrusters have been used in space, according to SpaceX.
The Falcon 9 that flew Monday is no stranger to space missions; it was the third launch and landing of this first-stage booster. It also lofted 40 of OneWeb's internet satellites to low-Earth orbit on Jan. 11, 2023, and sent SpaceX's robotic CRS-26 cargo mission toward the International Space Station on Nov, 26, 2022.
