Space X, Elon Musk's company, has launched 22 new satellites this past Sunday (23). On return, the Falcon 9 rocket landed on a ship on the high seas. The journey took approximately eight minutes.
Falcon 9's takeoff was delayed by one day due to weather conditions, launching 22 new satellites. This happened at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in the state of Florida.

Such a project is the sixth launch carried out by Elon Musk's company. There are already more than 4,850 aircraft in orbit. However, that number is far from over: SpaceX can send 12,000 satellites, and expects approval for another 30,000 launches.
This time, the first stage of the Falcon 9 rocket landed on the vessel 'Just Read the Instructions', which was parked in the Atlantic Ocean, awaiting its return.
The upper stage went into space to carry the 22 satellites starlink after 65 minutes of its initial takeoff.

SpaceX continues with its plan to launch satellites into orbit so that its internet service can be used worldwide. Here in Brazil, for example, Starlink is allowed to operate between 2022 and 2027.
The process was monitored by the National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel), which approved Elon Musk's service. Today, SpaceX offers a 20% discount to Brazilian users who want to test the internet.
A amazon invests heavily in its satellite project, called 'Kuiper'. The initial amount is R$ 120 million to build an installation at the Kennedy Space Center, in Florida.
The idea is to integrate the launch base with the Blue Origin rockets, owned by Amazon owner Jeff Bezos and the United Launch Alliance (ULA). Thus, about 3 thousand satellites will go into orbit and provide internet anywhere in the world.
