    SpaceX broke the record for most satellites launched in a single mission by launching 143 satellites on a Falcon 9 rocket. This beat India's previous record of 104 satellites launched in 2017. The mission included various small satellites for commercial and government customers. While it demonstrates increased access to space, the large number of objects also poses challenges for tracking space debris.

    SPACE X BREAKS ISRO’S

    RECORD

    LAUNCHES 143 SATELLITES IN


    SINGLE LAUNCH
    FEB 2017
    PSLV C-37 launched
    these satellites.
    101 co-passenger
    satellites carried were
    international customer
    satellites from USA
    (96), The Netherlands
    (1), Switzerland (1),
    Israel (1), Kazakhstan
    (1) and UAE (1).

    His company SpaceX is trying to push the boundaries in space
    innovation by creating technologies to reduce space transportation
    cost, and has developed reusable launch vehicles Falcon 1 and Falcon
    9Falcon 1 and Falcon 9.
    JAN 2021
    SpaceX on Sunday night broke a world space record by launching 143
    satellites in quick succession, beating India’s record of
    deploying 104 satellites in February 2017.

    The launch vehicle for the SpaceX record-
    breaking flight was the Falcon 9 .

    The mission was designated as


    Transporter-1.
    The lift-off at Cape Canaveral
    in Florida was at 8.31pm IST.

    At one point, the rocket flew


    over India and its signal was
    picked up by Isro’s
    Telemetry, Tracking and
    Command Network at
    Bengaluru.
    HIGHLIGHTS OF THE LAUNCH
    The 143 satellites launched included commercial and government
    CubeSats, microsats, what are known as orbiter transfer vehicles and
    10 Starlink satellites.

    This batch of Starlink satellites was the first in the constellation to be


    placed in the polar orbit.

    With these satellites, SpaceX aims to provide near-global broadband


    internet coverage all over the world by 2021.
    HIGHLIGHTS OF THE LAUNCH
    Onboard was also a spacecraft belonging to Nasa.

    The launch marks the first dedicated mission for SpaceX’s SmallSat
    Rideshare Program, which enables small-satellite customers to book a
    ride to orbit with SpaceX directly.
    ANY DOWNSIDE OF THE MISSION
    “Releasing so many objects on the same launch presents a huge
    challenge for the people that are tasked to track and identify
    those objects,”

    But it could take some time to sort identify each of the 143 satellites,
    along with debris generated from the Transporter-1 launch.
