SpaceX just made a world record by sending the maximum number of satellites on a single-vehicle on Sunday. The Falcon-9 rocket was carrying 143 satellites as it took off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The rocket left at 10 am local time after it had to be postponed due to bad weather.

The Falcon 9 was carrying 133 commercial and government ‘spacecraft’ as well 10 SpaceX satellites, said Andy Tra who is a production supervisor at SpaceX.

“The most spacecraft ever deployed on a single mission,” Tran said.

The Falcon 9 is a ‘rideshare’ program through which other firms and governments pay SpaceX to launch their technologies to space.

In only a few minutes, the Falcon 9’s main booster that had thrust the rocket to space separated itself from the rest of the device and dropped back in a controlled fall. It came back to a spaceport drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean called ‘Of Course I Still Love You’. The landing on this port marked the successful deployment which was informed on SpaceX’s Twitter account.

SpaceX aims to send thousands of small satellites into space that will eventually form a global broadband system called Starlink.

However, scientists are skeptical about so many objects clogging the space around our planet. SpaceX has maintained their standpoint by saying their satellites are designed in a way that they will get burned in the atmosphere after a few years.
