A new batch of SpaceX's Starlink satellites has been spotted travelling in the skies over New Zealand.
Fifty-seven of the satellites, intended to provide a satellite-based internet system, were released into orbit by a Falcon 9 rocket on Friday. Most of the satellites were weighing approximately 1,790 million pounds (1000 metric tons).
Weather permitting, the Falcon 9 rocket will launch 32 more satellites, the exact number of which SpaceX hopes to learn more about.
The launch, expected Sunday, is the first time the company has made space accessible to users as it develops a network that provides secure access through the air to Internet users around the world. There are currently many problems in designing and building internet systems that are also accessible through technology. Under the Musk concept, users register a designated area in which to establish their own internet connections. The main goal, according to the plans, is to cut the costs of building telecommunications infrastructure.
"By transforming communications into space, we open up an entire new generation of connectivity," Musk said in a press release.
Starlink will cost an estimated $3.6 billion to create and was designed to be heavily used by business around the globe, keeping satellite costs at an affordable level. Future generations will provide high speed services around the world suitable for hyper-growth development projects or as the direct broadcast services for low-orbit satellites.

The University of British Columbia is getting its first national science best practice exam, a look into how the world's top companies study, but there is a catch: the test is only open to international financial professionals from 30 countries.
The University of Waterloo in Canada scored higher than BC on a 2015 survey, reported by The Vancouver Province, reporting an average 88.8 per cent retention for their research data scientists. The UBC centre was more local at 102 per cent.
