Starlink is a satellite constellation development project underway by American company SpaceX, to develop a low-cost, high-performance satellite bus and requisite customer ground transceivers to implement a new space-based Internet communication system. SpaceX also plans to sell satellites that use a satellite bus that may be used for military,[5] scientific or exploratory purposes.
Starlink constellation, phase 1, first orbital shell: approximately 1,600 satellites at 550 km altitude

SpaceX has plans to deploy nearly 12,000 satellites in three orbital shells by the mid-2020s: initially placing approximately 1600 in a 550-kilometer (340 mi)-altitude shell, subsequently placing ~2800 Ku- and Ka-band spectrum sats at 1,150 km (710 mi) and ~7500 V-band sats at 340 km (210 mi). The total cost of the decade-long project to design, build and deploy such a network is estimated at nearly US$10 billion.

Product development began in 2015, and two prototype test-flight satellites were launched in February 2018. A second set of test satellites and the first large deployment of a piece of the constellation occurred on 24 May 2019 (UTC) when the first 60 operational satellites were launched. Initial commercial operation of the constellation could begin in 2020.

The SpaceX satellite development facility in Redmond, Washington, houses the research, development, manufacturing and on-orbit control operations for the satellite Internet project.
Does SpaceX make satellites? SpaceX says it will launch its first batch of Starlink satellites in 2019. So far, SpaceX has only launched two test satellites for the constellation — TinTin A and B. ... SpaceX CEO Elon Musk noted that the TinTin A and B were operating just fine after launch, though the plan for the spacecraft has changed somewhat
What is SpaceX Internet?
SpaceX launched the first two test satellites last year for its Starlink network, which aims to put 4,425 satellites into orbit. ... “Our mission is for the OneWeb network to provide seamless global Internet coverage by 2021,” the company said in a tweet.
How much will SpaceX Starlink cost?
With Starlink, SpaceX intends to put a “constellation” of satellites in low earth orbit, thereby providing high-speed, cable-like internet to every corner of the planet. The project is expected to cost around $10 billion in total.
How does SpaceX Starlink work?
In November of 2016, SpaceX filed an application with the FCC for a license to operate this constellation of non-geostationary satellites (NGS). ... According to Musk's plan, Starlink will send messages via a series of ground stations that will transmit information through radio waves to the satellites above.
How much does a satellite Internet cost?
Basic satellite internet packages start at $50 and gradually increase as you choose faster download speeds or more bandwidth. You can also expect to pay between $100 and $150 for installation, $15 per month to rent hardware and a one-time activation fee of $100
Is Satellite Internet better than cable?
Satellite internet is significantly slower than cable service. It also has a greater latency interval on average. Download speeds are generally from one to 15 Mbps, with upload speeds of one or two Mbps. Latency can range from 1000 to 2000 milliseconds.
Are there any free satellite channels?
Yes! If you're paying for satellite TV service, it may surprise you to learn that there's a free version, too. "Free to air" (FTA) satellite TV delivers thousands of channels of broadcast content via satellite to consumers all over the world.
What are the free TV channels?
Watch your favorite shows in HD for free. Local Channels are free*. All you need is an HD antenna and a good signal to watch local channels like NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, CW, PBS, Univision and many more without a monthly bill.
