The rocket is powered by nine Merlin engines, which provide a combined 1. 7 million pounds of thrust during liftoff. The Falcon 9 is equipped with a first stage that separates from the second stage during re-entry, allowing the rocket to be recovered and reused.

The Starlink satellites are a constellation of small communication satellites developed by SpaceX for global internet connectivity. Each satellite weighs approximately 227 kilograms and measures 1. 4 meters in diameter. The satellites are designed to provide high-speed internet access to remote and underserved areas around the world... with the goal of providing global internet coverage.
