SpaceX launches seventh batch of Starlink satellites - Telecompaper

SpaceX launched its seventh batch of Starlink satellites on 22 April. The Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Falcon 9’s first stage previously supported Crew Dragon’s first flight to the International Space Station, launch of the Radarsat Constellation Mission, and the fourth Starlink mission.

Following stage separation, SpaceX landed Falcon 9’s first stage on the “Of Course I Still Love You” drone ship, which was stationed in the Atlantic Ocean. Falcon 9’s fairing previously supported the Amos-17 mission. 

SpaceX CEO and founder Elon Musk said on Twitter that a private beta for Starlink would start in around three months, and a public beta should begin around three months after that, according to TechCrunch.com. The initial beta test will cover countries located in “high latitudes,” Musk added. 

To date, SpaceX said that Starlink service will initially be made available to customers in Canada and in the northern US in 2020. Additional service expansion will follow to other parts of the world throughout 2021, he said.
