SpaceFlightNow.com reported the launch as follows. “SpaceX continued the expansion of its Starlink internet satellite mega-constellation with the first of two planned Falcon 9 launches from Florida this week as the company boasts hitting more than three million users.
First up to bat was the Starlink 6-62 launch from pad 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 10:35 p.m. EDT (0235 UTC). It added 23 additional satellites to the thousands currently in low Earth orbit.
In addition to announcing that it reached three million Starlink customers, earlier this week SpaceX also noted that the service is now available across the islands that make up the Republic of Fiji. SpaceX stated that it marked “the 99th country, territory or market around the world where Starlink’s high-speed internet service is available.”
