More than 3,500 Starlink spaceships have been launched by the company so far. The company applied for permission from the FAA to deploy more than 30,000 Starlink 2.0 satellites. The FAA granted approval for 7,500 of them, but is not ready to make a decision on the rest.
Saturday will be the third launch of the day for the company. NASA's water-watching satellite was lofted by a Falcon 9 rocket from California's Vandenberg Space Force Base, while two satellites were lofted by a second rocket from Florida.
The SES mission was the 199th launch for the company. Between 2006 and 2009, there were five liftoffs by the now-retired Falcon 1 and four by the still- active Falcon Heavy.
