Starlink, a satellite network launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on May 23, 2019, orbits close to Earth, delivering high-speed internet accessible even in remote areas.
His Highness Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Deputy Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates, expressed gratitude to Musk in a social media post.
