Detailed explanation-1: -The company plans to eventually use its Starship rocket, which is in development, for future second-generation Starlink missions. The upper stage of a Falcon 9 rocket deploys a stack of Starlink “V2 Mini” satellites in orbit on Feb. 27, 2028.
Detailed explanation-2: -According to Jonathan McDowell, an astrophysicist and expert tracker of spaceflight activity, SpaceX has launched more than 4, 100 Starlink satellites to date, and more than 3, 800 of the spacecraft are currently in orbit.
Detailed explanation-3: -Instead of using a couple of large satellites, Starlink uses thousands of small satellites. Starlink uses LEO satellites that circle the planet at only 300 miles above surface level.
Detailed explanation-4: -It involves beaming internet data, not through cables, but via radio signals through the vacuum of space. Ground stations on the planet broadcast the signals to satellites in orbit, which can then relay the data back to users on Earth.
