Title: SpaceX to launch 60 satellites today: space internet here we come!
Post by: Legend on May 12, 2019, 02:40 AM


No one really expected SpaceX to be this far along with development. Most assumed the launch would only include ~20 and they'd be test versions. Instead we get 60 final units (but of course the design will be continually iterated).

~30 more launches for full deployment. ~5 more for limited deployment.
