Elon Musk ready to launch 60 satellites in space to generate internet connection

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk shared on his Twitter page photographs of the first 60 satellites that will be part of the Starlink Internet network. The satellites in question are already properly stored in the capsule of the Falcon 9 rocket and, as you can see from the images, there is no room left for anything else.
The goal is for the Starlink network to consist of almost 11,000 satellites, so several launches will be made to increase this network beyond these 60 initial satellites. The idea of the project is to provide faster Internet in areas that have hitherto been difficult to cover.
The launch of SpaceX is scheduled for Wednesday, the 15th, but there are also chances that will take place on Tuesday, the 14th. Miguel Dias
