United States tech entrepreneur Elon Musk has announced the successful deployment of 29 additional Starlink satellites into Earth’s orbit, further expanding the satellite internet constellation operated by SpaceX.

The satellites were launched from Florida, with Musk confirming the development on Sunday via a post on X (formerly Twitter).
“29 more Starlink satellites were added to the constellation,” he wrote.

According to data from Space.com, this latest deployment brings the total number of Starlink satellites in orbit to 7,135 as of March 28, 2025, with 7,105 reported to be operational.

Starlink, a flagship project under Musk’s aerospace company SpaceX, aims to provide high-speed internet access to underserved and remote areas worldwide. The latest launch follows closely on the heels of Starlink’s activation in Armenia, underscoring the company’s ongoing global expansion efforts.

In addition to his business ventures, Musk has recently assumed a more prominent political role. He currently serves as a special adviser to U.S. President Donald Trump, a position that has drawn widespread public and media attention.

Neither SpaceX nor the U.S. government has released further details about the recent mission, including specific objectives or satellite configurations.
