Satellite internet service Starlink, which is owned and operated by Elon Musk's SpaceX, appeared to suffer a brief network outage on Monday, with thousands of reports of service interruptions on Downdetector, a site that logs tech issues.
The outage marked the second in two weeks for Starlink. SpaceX did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The network's July 24 outage lasted for several hours, with SpaceX Vice President of Starlink Engineering Michael Nicolls blaming the matter on "failure of key internal software services that operate the core network" behind Starlink.
That outage followed the launch of T-Mobile's Starlink-powered satellite service, a direct-to-cell-phone service created to keep smartphone users connected "in places no carrier towers can reach," according to T-Mobile's website.
SpaceX provides Starlink internet service to more than six million users across 140 countries, according to the company's website, though churn and subscriber rates are not publicly reported by the company.
