SpaceX's Starlink satellite network was back up and running on Friday as engineers hunted for the root cause of one of its biggest international outages the night before, a rare disruption for the powerful internet system set off by an internal software failure.

SpaceX is working to address a network outage of its Starlink satellite internet service, the Elon Musk-led unit said on Thursday in a post on X.

Elon Musk-run SpaceX's Starlink satellite-powered internet services faced an outage on a global scale, but the company has fixed it.

SpaceX plans to launch 24 Starlink satellites from its Falcon 9 rocket on Saturday, which may be visible above Southern California.

A rare global interruption in the Starlink satellite Internet network knocked subscribers offline for more than two hours on Thursday, the longest widespread outage since SpaceX opened the service to consumers nearly five years ago.

SpaceX Starlink has been on a satellite launch spree lately. Last week, the Elon Musk-owned company successfully sent 24 Starlink satellites on a Falcon 9 rocket from the Vandenbueg Space Force base, and now it is planning to add 28 more satellites to its constellation.

SpaceX's Starlink experienced a major outage affecting tens of thousands of users due to an internal software failure, temporarily disrupting service for millions. The outage prompted apologies from Elon Musk and Starlink's engineering team,
