Last week, SpaceX successfully launched its very first satellite-packed Starlink mission, with dozens of the tiny communications devices traveling to Earth orbit on top of a Falcon 9 rocket. It’s the first of many such missions the company has planned, and eventually the pint-sized spacecraft will work in tandem to create a communications network that could provide high-speed internet to remote areas where no other options are available.
It’s an incredibly ambitious plan, and it’s going to require thousands of satellites in order to operate at its intended capacity. Last week’s launch sent 60 of the satellites skyward, and a new video shows all of the tiny objects in a “train” formation moving across the sky roughly a day after they were first deployed.
