The first stage booster supporting today’s mission previously launched CRS-26, OneWeb Launch 16, Intelsat IS-40e, SES O3b mPOWER-C, Ovzon-3, Eutelsat 26D, Turksat 6A, Maxar 2, SXM-9, and 12 Starlink missions. This launch marks the 22nd and final launch for the Falcon 9 first stage booster supporting today’s mission as additional performance is required to deliver the SpainSat NG II satellite to geosynchronous orbit.

SpaceX complies with local laws in all 150+ markets where @Starlink is licensed to operate. SpaceX continually works to identify violations of our Acceptable Use Policy and applicable law because - as with nearly all consumer electronics and services - the same technology that can provide immense benefits has a risk of misuse.  On the rare occasion we identify a violation, we take appropriate action, including working with law enforcement agencies around the world. In Myanmar, for example, SpaceX proactively identified and disabled over 2,500 Starlink Kits in the vicinity of suspected “scam centers”.   We are committed to ensuring the service remains a force for good and sustains trust worldwide: both connecting the unconnected and detecting and preventing misuse by bad actors.

Falcon 9 launches 28 @Starlink satellites from California

Starlink mini lasers are designed to achieve link speeds of 25 Gbps at distances up to 4000 km. They can be retrofitted for seamless integration with satellite manufacturers’ spacecrafts to deliver high-speed, low-latency connectivity on orbit.

SpaceX has now launched more than 10,000 Starlink satellites to date, enabling reliable high-speed internet for millions of people all around the world
