A collection of 143 satellites as part of SpaceX’s first dedicated rideshare mission over the experienced launcher, is called Transporter-1.
The rocket ferried 133 commercial and government spacecraft. SpaceX, acting like a cosmic carpool, dispatched its own 10 satellites into space Starlink Internet Satellites. Flat-panelled Starlink satellites are expected to be deposited in a unique polar orbit – a first for the broadband fleet, which will serve customers in Alaska and other polar
