Guess what just happened? π On Thursday, SpaceX, a private space company from the United States, launched 24 new Starlink satellites into space!
The satellites took off at 11:07 a.m. Eastern Time from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. They were carried by a Falcon 9 rocket, which is like a big reusable space bus that takes satellites into orbit.
So, what are these Starlink satellites for? π They’re part of a giant network that will provide high-speed internet to places where it’s hard to get online. That means people in remote areas will soon have faster and better internet!
After the launch, SpaceX confirmed that all 24 satellites were successfully deployed into orbit. That’s great news because it brings us closer to a world where everyone can be connected.
Isn’t space technology cool? Maybe one day, you’ll be part of making the next big thing in space! π
