SpaceX Conducts Back-to-Back Starlink Satellite Launches

The company successfully launches 44 satellites in a single day, marking a significant expansion of its broadband network.

SpaceX launched 23 Starlink satellites from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station early on April 5, 2024.
A second launch of 21 Starlink satellites from Vandenberg Space Force Base is scheduled for later the same day.
The launches are part of SpaceX's efforts to expand its Starlink broadband megaconstellation, which now comprises over 5,650 operational satellites.
The Falcon 9 rockets' first stages successfully landed on droneships, demonstrating SpaceX's continued focus on reusability.
These launches represent two-thirds of SpaceX's 33 orbital missions in 2024, underscoring the company's commitment to its Starlink project.
