Space Exploration company SpaceX has launched the very first of its dedicated rideshare missions– Falcon 9 carrying a total of 143 satellites into space.
Falcon 9, which allows small satellite operators to book a portion of a payload on the launch, lifted off on January 24, at around 10 AM EST (7 AM PST), holding the first Starlink satellite fleet of 2021.
The Starlink satellites onboard will also be the first in the constellation to deploy to a polar orbit.
