Samsung Galaxy S23 series is expected to support satellite communications. Samsung is reportedly working with Iridium to provide this functionality on the Galaxy S23 models.

The eighth and final launch of the $3 billion Iridium NEXT project completed delivery of 75 new satellites to orbit for the McLean, Virginia, company.

Ten more satellites for Iridium Communications have been successfully launched into orbit, SpaceX announced.

After launching as scheduled at 8:25pm (1:55am IST), the Falcon 9's first stage returned less than eight minutes after taking off.

The American company SpaceX on Sunday successfully placed 10 satellites for the communications company Iridium into orbit using a Falcon 9 rocket.

Saturday's launch was the first in a series planned to upgrade Iridium's global communications network.

SpaceX had suspended flights after the same model rocket went up in a blaze on September 1 as it was being fueled for a routine pre-launch test.

The company had hoped to launch a Falcon 9 rocket on December 16 to put 10 satellites into orbit for Iridium Communications

"Were anticipating being down for about three months, getting back to flight in the November timeframe."
