SpaceX Deploys 24 Satellites to Polar Regions to Enhance Global Internet Connectivity Access

On July 27, SpaceX successfully launched a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base near Lompoc, California. The mission, known as Starlink 17-2, lifted off at 9:31 p.m. PDT from Space Launch Complex 4 East. It deployed 24 Starlink satellites into low-Earth polar orbit to improve internet coverage in polar regions.

The Falcon 9 booster, tail number B1075, marked its 19th flight—16 of which supported Starlink missions. About 8.5 minutes after liftoff, the booster landed on the droneship Of Course I Still Love You in the Pacific Ocean. This landing marked the 142nd for that particular vessel and the 481st successful booster recovery for SpaceX overall.

Currently, over 8,000 Starlink satellites are in orbit, according to astronomer Jonathan McDowell.

Just days before the launch, on Thursday, Starlink users experienced a rare full network outage that began around 4 p.m. Most service was restored within 2.5 hours, and full functionality returned another 1.5 hours later, according to SpaceX.
