On July 3, the American space company SpaceX launched 20 Starlink Internet satellites into orbit, including 13 satellites capable of providing direct connection services to mobile phones.
According to SpaceX, the Falcon 9 rocket carrying the 20 satellites lifted off from the Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida (USA) at 3:55 p.m. Vietnam time on the same day. This activity took place 2 hours later than originally planned due to some technical problems.
Immediately after launch, the first stage of the Falcon 9 rocket returned and landed on a drone ship anchored in the Atlantic Ocean.
According to SpaceX, this is the 16th launch and landing of the Falcon 9 rocket produced by the company. This event also marks the milestone of putting into orbit more than 100 Starlink satellites capable of providing direct connection service to mobile phones.
