Starlink driving business
The Starlink missions have been and keep on being the foundation of SpaceX's plan of action. During an organization talk distributed to online entertainment, SpaceX pioneer Elon Musk said of the 96 Hawk trips in 2023, 66% were for Starlink missions.
Musk highlighted the Russian group of Soyuz rockets sending off 63 of every one year, which was a past record.

"The greatest, single objective for Starlink from a specialized point of view is to get the mean idleness under 20 milliseconds," Musk said, adding that he at last believes the organization should be quicker than a ground-based framework. Minutes after the fact however, he noticed that Starlink wasn't expected to supplant earthbound web.
He additionally said that they're attempting to enact Starlink administration in the greater part of the world by populace toward the finish of 2024. Musk added that they are likewise presenting what he referred to a Starlink Smaller than expected client terminal as "which can fit in a rucksack."

He did anyway express that they're attempting to twofold the send off capabilities for their Bird of prey first stage sponsor armada.
"We've done a nineteenth re-flight. We're presently qualifying Hawk 9 to have the option to complete 40 flights," Musk said. "And afterward, we should not neglect fairing recuperation on the grounds that really, a many individuals don't understand we recuperate the fairings too."
Musk said they've recuperated payload fairings multiple times. They desire to add two more to the number following Saturday night's central goal.
