SPACE ECONOMY
SpaceX successfully launched 29 Starlink satellites during its Starlink 6-98 mission from Cape Canaveral, despite a 40% chance of favorable weather conditions. The Falcon 9 first-stage booster B1085, which has previously supported major missions, completed its 13th flight and landed successfully on a droneship in the Atlantic Ocean. With this launch, SpaceX has deployed nearly 11,000 Starlink satellites since 2019, with around 9,500 currently operational.
