Elon Musk has many companies. One of them is called Starlink and its goal is to fill the sky with satellites that provide internet to the citizens of the world. Along the way he is leaving a low orbit of space junk, but that’s another topic.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Let’s get down to business, SpaceX’s Starlink constellation of internet satellites has lost more than two hundred satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) since July, <\/strong>according to data from a satellite tracking website.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the first time Starlink has lost a significant number of satellites in a short period of time<\/strong>, and these losses are usually influenced by solar flares that cause orbit changes and damage or destroy the spacecraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The nature of the satellites, i.e. their model, is unclear, and if they are the newer Starlink satellites that SpaceX regularly launches, the company will have to perform at least nine Falcon 9 launches to make up for the lost satellites.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
