Elon Musk’s SpaceX operation will launch 600 more satellites into space tomorrow as part of the Sterlink mission – bringing broadband to the world.

The satellites will be launched on a Falcon 9 rocket from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, The Mirror reported.

A spokesman for the Kennedy Space Center said:

“Sterlink’s goal is to build a network that will provide Internet services to people who are not yet connected and provide reliable and affordable Internet services around the world.”

The launch is scheduled to take place at 13:46 BST (08:46 ET).

If you want to watch the launch live, it will be broadcast live on SpaceX’s YouTube channel.

Starlink satellites are launched every two weeks or so and are designed to provide high-speed broadband internet in remote areas around the world.

A spokesman for SpaceX said: “A worldwide network with limited performance and ground infrastructure limitations, Starlink will provide high-speed broadband internet in places where access is completely unreliable, not expensive.”

So far SpaceX has launched 597 Starlink satellites, but plans to send about 12,000 into orbit.

While most satellites orbit at an altitude of about one thousand kilometers above the Earth, the Starlink satellites orbit at an altitude of about 550 kilometers below, meaning they are regularly visible.

This week, you will have several opportunities to identify the Starlink satellites yourself.

According to Starlink, the satellites will be visible here:
