A SpaceX mission marked a milestone as the company’s 62nd flight of the year demonstrated the pace of American spaceflight. The Falcon 9 lifted off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida on the evening of September 3, with a rapid ascent that carried a batch of Starlink satellites into orbit. Early on the morning of September 4, SpaceX announced that 21 Starlink craft had successfully been deployed, expanding a growing constellation designed to deliver global broadband coverage. The announcement appeared on SpaceX’s official X account, the platform previously known as Twitter, and confirmed the company’s ongoing push to provide fast, low-latency internet across the globe.
