SpaceX has successfully launched 28 Starlink satellites on December 4, 2023, from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The Falcon 9 rocket lifted off at 12:42 p.m. PST, marking a significant step in SpaceX's ongoing mission to expand its satellite internet services.
In addition to this launch, SpaceX is reportedly preparing to enter the mobile carrier market, having filed a U.S. trademark for 'Starlink Mobile', which hints at ambitious plans to expand its services further.
Notably, Starlink is also gaining traction in South Korea, as Hanjin Group's five airlines are set to install Starlink for in-flight Wi-Fi, enhancing connectivity for travelers. This move reflects a growing demand for high-speed internet services across various sectors, including aviation.
