St. George-Die residents of South Uutah suffered a lot on Monday when SpaceX 23 Starlink satellites started the orbit with low earth.
Patrick Wiggins, Utah's Nasa ambassador, said to KSL that it was SpaceX, who lit the night sky.
According to the Comany website, the satellites were started at 7:09 p.m. Mountain Time from the Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.
The start on Monday was the 23rd flight for the “first stage Booster, which supports this mission,” said the company.
Starlink satellites provide customers with the Internet by allowing them to request a satellite, and the satellite establishes a connection to a floor station that sends data from the Internet back to the satellite and then to the user. This technology can prove to be particularly useful for those in rural areas that only have limited Internet access.
