SpaceX launched 60 Starlink satellites into orbit from Florida on April 5, the same day the company announced its initial public offering. The mission took place from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, marking the first Starlink launch of 2024. The rockets lifted off at 7:30 a.m. EST, with clear skies and no delays reported. This was the 10th Starlink mission of the year and the 23rd overall for the program. The satellites are part of SpaceX's goal to provide global broadband internet. The launch was streamed live by SpaceX and watched by thousands online. A SpaceX official said the mission was 'a significant milestone for the company.' The launch followed a successful IPO that valued the company at $120 billion. The mission is expected to expand Starlink's coverage to rural and remote areas. The next Starlink launch is scheduled for late May. The company has faced regulatory scrutiny over its satellite operations but continues to push forward with its expansion plans.
