- 6 years ago
SpaceX just rocketed off another batch of internet-providing satellites on a Falcon 9 rocket. It's the company's latest push in an effort to cover the Earth with broadband internet.
The move is unprecedented. eventually, the company wants to launch 4,425 of these satellites into orbit, 700 to 800 miles above Earth, plus another 7,500 similar spacecraft in lower orbits.
