Delays and challenge
Specifically, the launch could be considered as effectively implemented, while several problems emerged during its performance. Originally planned for early November the mission had been postponed several times. First, a technical problem, which was a helium leak halted the countdown of the rocket a few minutes before the expected start of the operation. Then the rainy season arrived and precipitated the works further. However, things moved quickly, and on Thursday the Falcon 9 rocket launched albeit with a slight six-minute hold which is impressive to show how committed SpaceX is.
Precision Landing in the Atlantic
Another of SpaceX’s initiatives includes the employment of reusable rockets, which should reduce the cost of space exploration. Specifically, the Falcon 9 booster, which is the main part of the rocket successfully landed on the Just Read the Instructions drone ship located in the Atlantic Ocean approximately eight minutes after the launch. This was the 362nd Falcon 9 booster to successfully land and another demonstration of SpaceX’s progress in reusability.
Starlink and Its Significance
Starlink is SpaceX’s revolutionary program to provide internet services to both rural and less connected places globally. However Starlink satellites are closer than normal satellites that revolve around thousands of miles above the earth’s surface they orbit about 340 miles above the earth. As a result, they should be capable of offering higher bandwidth than the delays. At the moment companies like SpaceX have sent more than 7,000 Starlink satellites as they aim to launch thousands more to provide better internet service across the world.
