Elon Musk's space exploration company, SpaceX, plans to launch up to 42,000 satellites into orbit to beam internet down to remote parts of the Earth. SpaceX has already put close to 200 Starlink ...
The satellites were intended to test Distant retrograde orbit. [33] Tracking data appears to show China is attempting to salvage spacecraft and they appear to have succeeded in reaching their desired orbit. [34] [35] China: Queqiao-2: Moon: Success
By five weeks post launch, 57 of the 60 satellites had been "healthy" while 3 were non-operational and derelict, but deorbited due to atmospheric drag. [32] All working satellites were intentionally deorbited by May 2021, and all remaining failed spacecraft re-entered by October 2022. [4] 2 Launch 1 [33] v1 2019-074 11 November 2019, 14:56 [34]
As of 2 December 2020, 955 satellites have been launched and Starlink is in a public beta testing phase.

As of 2010, 31% of all space launches were commercial. [4] By the year 2035, the space economy is projected to have grown to $1.8 trillion. [5] The commercial spaceflight sector primarily generates revenue by launching satellites into Earth's orbit, facilitated by providers deploying satellites into Low Earth Orbit and Geostationary Earth Orbit.
