Describing the mission, SpaceX representatives said that the Falcon 9 is a reusable, two-stage rocket. It is capable of transporting people and other payloads to low Earth orbit and beyond. It is the world’s first reusable orbital rocket. With its help, we have been able to reduce the cost of our space missions to a great extent.
After launch, the Falcon 9 First Stage landed on a droneship called Just Read the Instructions (JRTI) in the Atlantic Ocean while returning from stage separation on Earth.
SpaceX’s Starlink Satellite Internet Service provides Internet connectivity around the world. This includes Ukraine, which has been under constant attack from Russia for several days, and the country’s communication infrastructure has been badly damaged.
