SpaceX has announced that its Starlink service now boasts over 2.7 million customers, a significant increase from 2.6 million just three weeks ago, averaging 4,761 new customers every day. In recent activities, SpaceX successfully deployed 21 Starlink satellites, including six with Direct to Cell capabilities, from the Vandenberg Space Force Station in California. This was followed by a launch from Florida, adding 23 more satellites to the constellation, marking the 24th dedicated Starlink mission in 2024. The company has now launched a total of 6,168 Starlink satellites across 155 missions. Additionally, SpaceX completed three orbital launches from Vandenberg in just 11 days, including the deployment of the USSF-62's Weather System Follow-on - Microwave Space Vehicle, a feat Elon Musk highlighted as a potential record.
