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.

Starlink is owned and operated by SpaceX, which is also run by Musk. Elon Musk ’s satellite internet service Starlink said it had a “network outage” on Thursday. The company said it was working on a solution. There were more than 60,000 reports of an outage on Downdetector, a site that logs issues.

The global satellite internet service appears to be back up and running after a "failure of key internal software services that operate the core network" was repaired.
