That’s five times the total number of satellites humans have launched since the dawn of spaceflight.

Starlink is a satellite-based internet constellation intended to blanket the planet in high-speed broadband, and often touted as a way to potentially bring connectivity to the billions of people who still lack reliable internet access. The 60 Starlink satellites were deployed about an hour after the rocket was launched. It is described by SpaceX as the “first orbital class rocket capable of reflight.” The Falcon 9 is a two-stage rocket, which stands 70 meters or 229 feet tall, according to information provided during the broadcast of the launch.
