Starlink is a satellite internet constellation operated by SpaceX[4][5] providing satellite Internet access to most of the Earth.[6][7]
Launches
The deployment of the first 1,440 satellites will be into 72 orbital planes of 20 satellites each,[8] with a requested lower minimum elevation angle of beams to improve reception: 25° rather than the 40° of the other two orbital shells.[9]:17 SpaceX launched the first 60 satellites of the constellation in May 2019 into a 450 km (280 mi) orbit and expected up to six launches in 2019 at that time, with 720 satellites (12 × 60) for continuous coverage in 2020.[10][11]
In August 2019, SpaceX expected four more launches in 2019[12] and at least nine launches in 2020,[13] but since January 2020 expectations had increased to 24 total launches in 2020.[14]
In March 2020, SpaceX reported producing six satellites per day.[15]
Starlink satellites are also planned to launch on Starship, an under-development rocket of SpaceX with a much larger payload capacity.[16]
In February 2021, Musk stated that the satellites are traveling on 25 orbital planes clustered between 53° north and south of the equator.[17]
