This morning, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said via Twitter that the second-generation Starlink will be launched next year and can be directly transmitted with mobile phones to eliminate blind spots on a global scale.
IT House learned that SpaceX plans to build a “Starlink” network consisting of about 12,000 satellites in space to provide Internet services between 2019 and 2024.
Last week, SpaceX launched another 53 Starlink satellites. The total number of Starlink satellites has now reached 3,108, of which about 2,845 are still orbiting the earth.
In January of this year, SpaceX shelved plans to launch 30,000 Starlink satellites using a Falcon 9 rocket and instead focused on using SpaceX Starships to launch second-generation Starlink satellites. This means that SpaceX is likely to “start launching the second-generation system of Starlink in March 2022.”
