SpaceX is set to launch a Falcon 9 rocket from Kennedy Space Center in Florida tonight, and weather permitting, the rocket’s contrail should be visible from much of the East Coast.<\/p>\n

No, SpaceX is not visible to the naked eye.<\/p>\n

Will SpaceX satellites be visible? <\/h2>\n

SpaceX is launching its 55 Starlink satellites tonight and they will be visible in the sky! The best chance to see them will be around 6:45 pm, but they may only be visible for a few minutes. Keep your eyes peeled and you might just be able to spot them!<\/p>\n

The line of satellites is a string of man-made objects that orbit the Earth. They are often used for communication or navigation purposes. The satellites travel relatively slowly across the sky in a diagonal path and are easy to see with clear skies.<\/p>\n

If you’re looking to track Starlink satellites in real-time, the best app to use is Satellite Tracker by Star Walk. Once you open the app, go to the search function and select the satellite icon in the bottom right corner of the screen. The Starlink satellites will be at the top of the ‘Main Satellites’ list.<\/p>\n

The Falcon 9 rocket carrying 55 Starlink craft lifted off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on Sunday at 12:10 am EST (0510 GMT). This is the second batch of Starlink satellites launched by SpaceX, and brings the total number of operational satellites to 110. The satellites will provide high-speed internet coverage to areas around the world that are underserved or unserved by traditional broadband providers.<\/p>\n

How long after launch are Starlink satellites visible? <\/h2>\n

Starlink satellites are easier to see a day or two after their launch and deployment as they climb to their final orbital height of around 342 miles (550 km). After they reach their final orbital height, they become progressively harder to spot.<\/p>\n

Starlink satellite internet is currently available in parts of the US and Canada to people who live between 44 and 53 degrees latitude. Starlink plans to be available worldwide by the end of 2022.<\/p>\n

It’s pretty incredible to see so many satellites in arow! Obviously they are man-made and their purposes reflection that (i.e. connecting the world). I think it’s awe-inspiring that we’ve created something that can be seen from space with the naked eye. Who knows what we’ll be capable of next!<\/p>\n

It is estimated that Starlink will cost around $10 billion to deploy in full. The system is designed to provide high-speed internet to remote or underserved areas around the world. In May 2019, Starlink agreed to provide service to the British Columbia government in Canada. In October 2019, SpaceX launched the first batch of 60 operational satellites. As of February 2023, over 3,580 mass-produced small satellites have been deployed in low Earth orbit (LEO), with a total of nearly 12,000 planned to be deployed. The system has the potential to provide high-speed internet to remote or underserved areas around the world, at an estimated cost of $10 billion.<\/p>\n

Does Starlink move during the day <\/h3>\n

The Starlink satellites move across the sky regularly, so the dish does not need to move in order to track a satellite. The Starlink antennas are phased array, and they are able to adjust to the signal without physically moving the dish.<\/p>\n

The SpaceX Crew-4 successfully splashed down near Jacksonville, Florida at 4:55 pm EDT (2055 GMT). All four members of the crew are reported to be in good health and are currently being taken to the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.
