Starlink 4-4\u2019s satellites will help fill the internet constellation\u2019s fourth orbital shell. Like recent Starlink missions, the 52 satellites were version 1.5. These are similar to the original 1.0 satellites but feature laser interlinks for communications between satellites. While they are good enough to build out the initial constellation, they are not \u201cfinancially strong,\u201d according to Elon Musk. Starlink version 2.0 satellites will be required to make the service viable, and that will need Starship.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed alignwide is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" class=\"\" style=\"position: static; visibility: visible; width: 500px; height: 500px; display: block; flex-grow: 1;\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?creatorScreenName=SethKurk&amp;dnt=true&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1472185489247506434&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fspaceexplored.com%2F2021%2F12%2F18%2Fmost-flown-spacex-rocket-booster%2F&amp;sessionId=4804ff3b807bd480b808781ab9b36c31e1d0c875&amp;siteScreenName=space_explored&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=6a3ad42b224df%3A1778106238597&amp;width=500px\" data-tweet-id=\"1472185489247506434\"><\/iframe><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-b1051-the-first-eleventh-flown-booster\">B1051:  The first eleventh flown booster<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This flight featured a milestone for SpaceX with the first eleventh flown Falcon 9 booster.

It currently holds the title of the most flown booster, with B1049 right behind, awaiting its next launch assignment.<\/p>\n<p><ins data-ad-format=\"auto\" class=\"adsbygoogle adsbygoogle-noablate\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7125080057269629\" data-adsbygoogle-status=\"done\" style=\"display: block; margin: auto; background-color: transparent; height: 0px;\" data-ad-status=\"unfilled\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"aswift_3\" name=\"aswift_3\" style=\"left: 0px; position: absolute; top: 0px; border: 0px; width: 775px; height: 0px; min-height: auto; max-height: none; min-width: auto; max-width: none;\" sandbox=\"allow-forms allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation\" width=\"775\" height=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" vspace=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/googleads.g.doubleclick.net\/pagead\/ads?gdpr=0&amp;us_privacy=1YNN&amp;gpp=DBABL~BVQqAAAAAg&amp;gpp_sid=7&amp;client=ca-pub-7125080057269629&amp;output=html&amp;h=280&amp;num_ads=1&amp;adk=2072073738&amp;adf=1821075794&amp;abgtt=7&amp;w=775&amp;fwrn=4&amp;fwrnh=100&amp;lmt=1783323312&amp;rafmt=1&amp;armr=3&amp;sem=mc&amp;pwprc=4018519472&amp;ad_type=text_image&amp;format=775x280&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fspaceexplored.com%2F2021%2F12%2F18%2Fmost-flown-spacex-rocket-booster%2F&amp;host=ca-host-pub-5506057612223327&amp;fwr=0&amp;pra=3&amp;rh=194&amp;rw=774&amp;rpe=1&amp;resp_fmts=3&amp;asro=0&amp;aimartd=4&amp;aieuf=1&amp;aicrs=1&amp;fa=27&amp;dt=1783323312128&amp;bpp=3&amp;bdt=2301&amp;idt=3&amp;shv=r20260701&amp;mjsv=m202606290101&amp;ptt=9&amp;saldr=aa&amp;abxe=1&amp;cookie=ID%3Dee20989454fe3a9b%3AT%3D1783311432%3ART%3D1783323257%3AS%3DALNI_Ma_zHTC64Egiec_8HQYi2Rx5xEg8w&amp;gpic=UID%3D000014159597bb56%3AT%3D1783311432%3ART%3D1783323257%3AS%3DALNI_MaDaRPwkK2fSZM7WKlqA_MSZIQskQ&amp;eo_id_str=ID%3De1bb4dd402f9f648%3AT%3D1783311432%3ART%3D1783323257%3AS%3DAA-Afjbi-FNlbfsUQCZWSNVtf2-j&amp;prev_fmts=0x0%2C336x280%2C775x280&amp;nras=3&amp;correlator=6489031499340&amp;frm=20&amp;pv=1&amp;u_tz=480&amp;u_his=1&amp;u_h=960&amp;u_w=1707&amp;u_ah=912&amp;u_aw=1707&amp;u_cd=24&amp;u_sd=1.5&amp;dmc=8&amp;adx=96&amp;ady=2215&amp;biw=1421&amp;bih=637&amp;scr_x=0&amp;scr_y=0&amp;eid=95395661%2C95393484&amp;oid=2&amp;pvsid=4483345914373819&amp;tmod=1249941588&amp;uas=0&amp;nvt=1&amp;fc=1408&amp;brdim=133%2C96%2C133%2C96%2C1707%2C0%2C1441%2C720%2C1438%2C637&amp;vis=1&amp;rsz=%7C%7Cs%7C&amp;abl=NS&amp;fu=128&amp;bc=31&amp;bz=1&amp;pgls=CAk.&amp;ifi=4&amp;uci=a!4&amp;btvi=3&amp;fsb=1&amp;dtd=53\" data-google-container-id=\"a!4\" tabindex=\"0\" title=\"Advertisement\" aria-label=\"Advertisement\" data-load-complete=\"true\" data-google-query-id=\"CIil6vPEvZUDFRjxTAIdCNA4kA\"><\/iframe><\/ins><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-spacex-falcon-9-booster-1051-launches\">SpaceX Falcon 9 booster 1051 launches<\/h3>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>SpaceX DM-1 (March 2, 2019)<\/li>\n<li>RADARSAT (June 12, 2019)<\/li>\n<li>Starlink v1.0 L3 (January 29, 2020)<\/li>\n<li>Starlink v1.0 L6 (April 22, 2020)<\/li>\n<li>Starlink v1.0 L9 (August 7, 2020)<\/li>\n<li>Starlink v1.0 L13 (October 18, 2020)<\/li>\n<li>Sirius XM-7 (December 13, 2020)<\/li>\n<li>Starlink v1.0 L16 (January 20, 2021)<\/li>\n<li>Starlink v1.0 L21 (March 14, 2021)<\/li>\n<li>Starlink V1.0 L27 (May 9, 2021)<\/li>\n<li>Starlink Group 4-4 (December 18, 2021)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Featured Image:<\/em><\/strong><em> @PeregrineDev \/ Space Explored<\/em><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"enjoy-reading-space-explored\">Enjoy reading Space Explored?<\/h3>\n<p><ins data-ad-format=\"auto\" class=\"adsbygoogle adsbygoogle-noablate\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7125080057269629\" data-adsbygoogle-status=\"done\" style=\"display: block; margin: auto; background-color: transparent; height: 280px;\"><\/ins><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Starlink Group 4-4 A unique non-polar launch from the US West Coast, Starlink 4-4 launched 52 Starlink satellites into a 53.2 degree inclination.
