SpaceX just shattered an almost unfathomable record

[Mike Wehner]

• SpaceX has already set a huge number of records with its reusable rocket technology.
• A new record set by the company on Sunday isn't related to its rockets directly, but it's still an incredibly impressive feat.
• The weekend launch resulted in 143 individual satellites being delivered into orbit, shattering the previous record of 104 satellites in a 2017 launch.

There's no denying the impact that SpaceX has had on the world. The company has dramatically lowered the cost barrier for companies and institutions that want to launch satellites into space, and in doing so it has built a business that its clients appear to be very happy with.

Because of its success, SpaceX has had to come up with ways to fulfill its launch commitments by any means necessary, even if that means cramming a ton of tiny satellites into a single launch. This past weekend, the company launched one of its trusty Falcon 9 rockets skyward, and it was carrying a record-shattering number of satellites.
