In recent weeks, SpaceX has been supporting efforts in Ukraine against the Russian invasion through various means, including the activation of Starlink internet in the region.
To connect to the internet, Ukrainians will require Starlink hardware, which SpaceX shipped at least two batches of into the country.
SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell says that getting Starlink into Ukraine was over a month in the making before the country requested the satellite internet from the company.
Despite providing the satellite internet, Musk also previously warned about Starlink networks being targeted by Russian communications.
Musk’s car company Tesla is also offering free Supercharging in affected areas surrounding Ukraine, and the automaker is offering three months of salary pay to any employees conscripted to fight for Ukraine.
The next SpaceX launch is scheduled for Friday, March 18, when the company plans to send another batch of 46 Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit, from Cape Canaveral, Florida.
