The Starlink satellites, SpaceX’s project founded by billionaire Elon Musk to provide internet services to the entire world via orbiting satellites, were launched for testing in April. He took part in the Starship rocket. SpaceX did not inform about this prior to the test.

The company said that Starlink was indeed on board the Starship missile during this test launch, and even during the test launch. fly at twice the speed of sound and at nearly three times the altitude at which commercial jets fly.officially confirmed that this is also a record.

Starlink traveled 123,600+ feet at an altitude of Mach 1.7

Starlink during Starship’s first test flight 123,600+ feet (36,679 yards) in height and Mach 1.7 (2,082 km/hIt set an altitude and speed record for use in flight by connecting to . Breaking this record also opens the door to connection for return on SpaceX’s Crew Dragon.

With the next Starship test flight scheduled for the next few months, Starlink satellites performs well in a grueling environment it is understood. Starlink must use a dish to communicate with orbiting satellites, and SpaceX has expanded its dish portfolio since the 2021 application round.

The company, which only offered a consumer-facing terminal at the time, has since made them unsuitable for use around people and requires professional installation. high performance expanded with variants.
