SpaceX has launched its seventeenth batch of Starlink satellites during its first mission on 20 January 2021.
It has used a Falcon 9 rocket that was flying for the eighth time, and that landed again, recording a record for its reusability program.
This puts the total Starlink constellation size at almost 1,000, as the company has expanded its beta access program for the service to the U.K. and Canada, with a first deployment in the latter country serving a rural First Nations community in a remote part of the province of Ontario.
