Despite only launching last month, SpaceX’s next-generation Starlink satellites are already falling out of the sky – Elon Musk has admitted that satellites are ‘experiencing some issues’
Elon Musk’s brand new Starlink satellites are already falling out of the sky, in what could prove to be an expensive headache for SpaceX.
Last month, SpaceX launched 21 of its next-generation Starlink satellites into orbit in order to upgrade connectivity to its powerful satellite broadband service.
However, according to astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell, one of the new Starlink satellites fell out of the sky and reentered Earth’s atmosphere earlier this week.
Mr McDowell, who tracks SpaceX’s satellite activity, also claimed ‘there are currently at least 14 actively on their way down’.
