Starlink is the largest satellite constellation ever deployed — and it's continuously growing, as today's planned launch demonstrates. There are currently more than 6,850 active Starlink spacecraft in LEO, according to satellite tracker and astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell.

SpaceX is gearing up to launch another batch of Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Florida on Wednesday morning.

SpaceX has quickly become something of a taxi service for space travel, allowing private companies and governments alike to affordably send satellites into orbit for research and commercial purposes. The frequent launches have reportedly become something of a nightmare for those who live near the launch sites, however.

SpaceX launched the second rocket of the year from Cape Canaveral. The payload was the latest batch of Starlink satellites.

SpaceX is set to launch another rocket from our Space Coast on Monday. The company is aiming for an early afternoon liftoff of its Falcon 9 rocket. The vehicle will carry 24 Starlink satellites and deploy them into low-Earth orbit. The satellites are used to increase the company’s internet capability to locations around the globe.
