SpaceX launched 24 more Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit early Sunday morning (July 27), on the company's second flight in less than 24 hours dedicated to growing its megaconstellation.

Although SpaceX gets a lot of attention for its rocket ships, the company's Starlink operation may be the real prize for investors.

Looking for something fun to do Saturday? Californians could catch a Starlink satellite launch from the Vandenberg Space Force Base.

The issue concerns sunlight reflecting off the satellites’ surfaces. SpaceX has attempted to reduce the brightness of the reflected light by coating the satellites in a dark material, and also by adding reflective film to redirect the sunlight away from Earth.

China’s biggest networks have deployed less than 1 percent of their planned satellites, falling far behind SpaceX for dominance in space communications.

Letting AST launch its proposed spacecraft without addressing the collision risk 'would be irresponsible' and potentially subject other satellite providers to 'unnecessary risk,' SpaceX says.

The new US missile defense system will explore alternatives to Elon Musk's SpaceX, with Amazon. com's Project Kuiper among the main contenders.
