The basic issue is that when satellites orbit the Earth, they periodically catch and reflect light from the sun, particularly when they exit from the Earth's shadow and enter direct sunlight (which takes place during their "orbit raise" phase). It is at this point that satellites will engage...

SpaceX said Friday that the first 60 satellites in its "Starlink" constellation, which is intended to provide internet from space, will be less and less visible from Earth as they reach their final orbit. Elon Musk's company created a must-see event for space enthusiasts when it launched al...
After launching Starlink internet satellites, attempts to land the reusable boosters failed as they caught fire and fell into the ocean, leading the FAA to decide to ground the fleet. 6 months ago SpaceX reschedules historic mission for 1st commercial spacewalk ...

SpaceX will use the Starship to deploy larger swarms of Starlink internet satellites. Currently, the Falcon 9 can take 60 of the micro-satellites into orbit at a time, but the true V2 satellites are much larger and will require Starship. SpaceX has gotten FCC approval to launch up to 7,...
In addition to working with NASA, SpaceX operates an ever-expanding constellation of broadband internet satellites called Starlink. The core of the company's mission, however, is to further Musk's dreams of making humanity an interplanetary species. This page serves as a comprehensive resource for...
