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 tolaunch up to 7,50...
Satellite internet could get a lot more spectacular in the near future as companies like SpaceX race to launch LEO (low-Earth orbit) satellites into the cosmos to provide improved speeds and reduced latency. Until then, we recommend satellite internet as a fallback if you can’t get any oth...
Let’s talk about three exciting events in the future of Falcon Heavy, and how they are playing out: STP-2: Space Test Program-2 is a U.S. satellite mission in which Falcon Heavy will take at least two dozen satellites into orbit for launch, and a vital test of Heavy’s abilities....
