SpaceX lasers define next ERA of Starlink Technology! SpaceX launched its first whole batch of laser-equipped Starlinks. These SpaceX lasers are expected to improve how the satellite network relays broadband signals around the world. Ground stations are costly and not without geographical and political constraints on where they can be positioned on Earth.

SpaceX launched a batch of operational styling satellites from its California launch facility on one of its Falcon 9 rockets, which is 229 feet tall and stands 70 meters tall. SpaceX is launching its own satellite almost weekly for the first time in over two months, breaking the regular rhythm established earlier this year. The 51 Starlink satellites were launched into an orbit with a tilt angle of 70 degrees to the equator by the Falcon 9 rocket, launching a new orbital "shell" to increase the reach and capacity of the privately created internet network. The Falcon 9 rocket's strong kerosene-fueled engines sliced through the soupy fog layer in a matter of seconds, and it rocketed into a starry sky over California's Central Coast. Following a trajectory roughly parallel to the coast of Southern California after exceeding the speed of sound, the rocket raced downrange to the south-southeast from Vandenberg. The first stage landed with a flawless propulsive touchdown a few hundred miles downrange in the Pacific Ocean on one of SpaceX's rocket landing platforms, dubbed "Of Course I Still Love You." The booster on Monday night's flight was named B1049, and it flew for the 10th time to orbit and returned, tying a record for SpaceX's most-flewn rocket. The rocket will be returned to the Port of Long Beach in California for repair and assigned to a new mission by the drone ship. About 15 minutes into the flight, the Falcon 9's upper stage released the stack of 51 flat-panel satellites after achieving an on-target orbit. The deployment took place in the furthest reaches of the Pacific Ocean, beyond the reach of base stations. As the rocket sailed above a tracking station in Chile approximately 26 minutes after liftoff, SpaceX verified the successful satellite separation. The rocket was designed to place the Starlink satellites in an extended orbit with a 213-mile apogee, or high point (343 kilometers). The satellites will deploy solar panels and ignite krypton-fueled plasma engines to achieve an operational circular orbit at a height of 354 miles, according to a SpaceX manufacturing line in Redmond, Washington (570 kilometers). The 51 satellites launched on Monday will fill a new shell in SpaceX's Starlink network. After a series of dedicated launches from Florida over the course of two years, between May 2019 and May of this year, SpaceX completed the fleet's first orbital shell. The Starlink satellites that have been deployed so far extend the network's reach to high latitudes, but not to the entire globe.During a panel discussion at the Space Symposium last month, Gwynne Shotwell, SpaceX's president and chief operating officer, said, "We've finished the first piece of our network...which basically takes us to plus or minus 50 degrees, 53 degrees, 55 degrees (latitude)." The next phase of the Starlink program, beginning with Monday’s launch, will expand the coverage to the polar regions. “We were hoping to do so a little bit sooner, but we’re working on our laser communication terminals,” Shotwell said. Since May, SpaceX has rushed to complete development of new inter-satellite laser terminals to put on all future Starlink satellites.
