Russia launches second batch of Starlink rival satellites Russia's Bureau 1440 low-Earth orbit broadband network satellites are designed as a domestic alternative to Starlink Commercial service is expected to begin in 2027, with nearly 300 satellites planned by 2030

Starlink’s first dedicated launch was only in 2019. 60 satellites. That was the starting line. Now Starlink has around 10.3 million subscribers across 164 countries, territories, and markets, with roughly 9,600 broadband and mobile satellites in low-Earth orbit. Direct to Cell is already reachin

SpaceX's newest satellites carry about 1,024 gigabits of bandwidth each. The generation before carried 96. That is a tenfold leap in a single design cycle, beamed down from orbit. Jumps like that do not happen in industries that have given up, if so can you name me any?

Throwback to 2014: Elon Musk gives a tour inside the brand-new Dragon V2 An early glimpse of Elon showing America the spacecraft that would eventually restore its ability to launch astronauts into orbit from its own soil

🇺🇸 Falcon lights up the sky again! SpaceX thundered another Falcon 9 off the pad: clean liftoff, engines roaring, climbing hard into the night. Another mission headed to orbit, another win for reusable rockets. America (and the world) is eating well in space right now. @SpaceX / Writer: Val

During next year’s Artemis III mission, teams will practice rendezvous, docking, and proximity operations in low-Earth orbit

SpaceX’s new rendering of the Starlink V3 satellite in orbit looks incredibly cool.

Elon realized it was easier to launch a billion satellites into orbit than overturn the telecommunications act of 1996
