Poland, SpaceX
The FAA says SpaceX is trying to determine if the debris found in Poland belonged to the Falcon 9 rocket's upper stage.
Jasny, pÅ‚onÄ…cy obiekt przeleciaÅ‚ nad PolskÄ…. To prawie na pewno szczÄ…tki drugiego stopnia rakiety Falcon 9, która zostaÅ‚a wystrzelona z bazy siÅ‚ powietrznych Vandenberg w Kalifornii i wynosiÅ‚a na orbitÄ™ 22 satelity Starlink z grupy 11-4.
Upon arriving at his warehouse in the quaint Polish village of Komorniki, Adam Burucki discovered that a massive chunk of charred rocket debris had crash-landed on his property.
Poland said on Saturday it has been paying for Ukraine's Starlink subscription and will continue to do so despite sources saying the United States could consider cutting Ukraine's access to the satellite internet system.
