The Falcon 9's Starlink<\/a> satellites, which are 52 in the count, will benefit SpaceX's quickest and most consumer-grade services. Antarctica is one of the most recent regions connected to the internet via Starlink.
The Falcon 9 rocket demolished from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station<\/a> at 7:32:10 p.m. EDT (2332:10 GMT) Saturday, aviating into a twilight sky that provided viewers with a magnificent spectacle as the launcher left the first stage booster and cargo shroud a few minutes later.
The network is obtainable to subscribers in over 40 countries and territories. The National Science Foundation<\/a> announced earlier this month cooperation with SpaceX to test the Starlink service at McMurdo Station.
With 52 more satellites set to join the constellation Saturday night, SpaceX is one step closer to completing the full deployment in its first group of 4,400 spacecraft. After Saturday night's flight, SpaceX has launched 3,399 Starlink satellites into orbit, including prototypes and failed spacecraft. Jonathan McDowell<\/a>, a tracker of spaceflight activity and an astronomer, said that the company currently has around 3,000 operational Starlink satellites in space, with about 2,500 operational and another 500 moving into operational orbits.
Elon Musk<\/a>, the company's founder and CEO, said that Starlink was now available in all continents.
On Sunday night, Starlink 4-35 launch was SpaceX's 43rd of the year.
