SpaceX successfully launched another 47 Starlink satellites on Thursday, bringing the total number of the space-based broadband internet satellites in orbit to more than 1,900.
The launch comes as SpaceX also delivers Starlink internet terminals to Ukraine in an attempt to keep the besieged country’s civilian internet infrastructure intact amidst an invasion by Russian forces. The newly launched satellites will also help SpaceX get back on schedule after losing 40 Starlink satellites to a solar storm not long after launch on 4 February.
