SpaceX is launching its latest batch of internet satellites

SpaceX is slated to launch the latest batch of 60 internet-beaming satellites for its ever-growing Starlink constellation on the night of June 3. Once this mission takes off, SpaceX will have launched a little more than 480 of its Starlink satellites into orbit. That’s only a small fraction of the nearly 12,000 Starlink satellites that the company has permission to launch. The goal of the massive project is to provide global internet coverage from space. The satellites are designed to beam broadband connectivity down to the Earth below, with customers tapping into the system via personal user terminals.
