As part of its record-breaking launch yesterday, Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX) launched 143 small satellites into orbit. Included in this payload were ten of the company's own Starlink satellites that will provide internet connectivity to the polar regions of the Earth. SpaceX was granted authority to launch these satellites by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) at the start of this month, as the company needed the body's permission to launch them with modified parameters that are part of its third modification request to change Starlink altitude and Earth station elevation angles.
