The next launch could take place in December Visitors to the SpaceX Starbase spaceport in Boca Chica now have another place against which they can take beautiful pictures. A photograph of a giant neon sign with the inscription “Gateway to Mars” was published a couple of hours ago by the head of the company, Elon Musk.

Some SpaceX fans have expressed regret over the recent construction of a large wall around parts of the launch complex. They see this as another step towards gradually closing SpaceX Starbase to the public. “Gateway to Mars,” a huge neon sign appeared on the Starship launch pad The new sign appeared a couple of weeks after Starship's second launch. This time we managed to reach the stage of stage separation, but a few moments later the launch vehicle exploded. The Starship spacecraft continued its flight , but also exploded approximately 8 minutes after it began.

SpaceX successfully launched 21 Starlink V2 minisatellites from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California On October 9, SpaceX successfully launched 21 Starlink V2 minisatellites into low Earth orbit. The launch took place from SLC-4E at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California and was the company's 71st mission this year, moving it closer to its goal of 100 launches by 2023. SpaceX is gradually increasing the pace of launches, with Musk recently announcing plans to launch 10 missions per month by the end of the year. The first stage of B1063-14 demonstrated a record of the 14th successful flight. Previously, she played a key role in missions such as the launch of NASA's Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite, NASA's Dimorphos DART mission, 51 mini-exploration satellites on the Transporter 7 mission, the launch of Iridium OneWeb satellites, SDA-0B for the Space Agency US Development Authority (SDA), and now the launch of nine Starlink missions.

The 21 Starlink V2 minisatellites launched as part of this mission will operate in an orbit at an altitude of about 530 kilometers at an angle of 53° to the Earth's equator. These satellites are designed to provide four times the bandwidth of their predecessors, further improving SpaceX's position in the Internet service provider market. The launch was the 25th for V2 minisatellites as part of the Starlink constellation. To date, SpaceX has launched a total of 5,243 Starlink satellites into orbit since 2019, of which approximately 4,884 are still operational.  The rapid expansion of Starlink's satellite broadband network has allowed the company to serve more than 2 million customers in more than 60 countries and provide high-speed Internet access to previously inaccessible areas.
