The Falcon 9 launch vehicle launched in orbit with the next batch of 22 mini-satellites to replenish the orbital grouping of the global network of the Starlink system, the SpaceX developer said.
The launch was carried out from the 40th starting complex on the basis of American space forces at Cape Canaveral in Florida.
Later, SpaceX said that the satellites were brought to orbit.
This is the 101st launch of Internet satellites since May 2019 as part of the Starlink project and 32nd from the beginning of the current year. SpaceX brought more than 4.9 thousand such satellites into orbit. Some of them failed or left orbit. Almost 4.5 thousand devices remain in orbit in working condition.
