But after launch on Thursday, a geomagnetic storm slammed into Earth’s atmosphere.
Geomagnetic storms are sparked by the sun spewing out solar wind particles that eventually crash into Earth.
When the geomagnetic storm hit Earth last week, it increased atmospheric drag on the batch of satellites.
SpaceX also says they pose no risk to other satellites.
Astronomers hold concerns about the ever-increasing number of Starlink satellites headed to orbit.
