- 1SpaceX Starship deploys Starlinks on orbital debut flightโSpaceX's Starship makes orbital debut deploying Starlinks before early ending
SpaceX's Starship completed its first orbital-class mission deploying Starlink satellites before the flight ended early. The test demonstrated the vehicle's ability to carry payloads to orbit for the first time, a key milestone for SpaceX's plans to expand its satellite internet constellation and for NASA's lunar ambitions, even though the mission did not run its full duration.
- 2SpaceX Starship test reaches orbit, deploys Starlink satellitesโSpaceX Starship test reaches Earth orbit, 26 Starlink satellites deployed
SpaceX's Starship completed a test flight reaching Earth orbit and deploying 26 Starlink satellites, a milestone for the heavy-lift rocket program. The deployment demonstrates Starship's potential to launch large batches of satellites, and observers are weighing what the success means for future missions and SpaceX's satellite plans.
- 3SpaceX's Starship Flight 14 Deploys Starlink SatellitesโSpaceX Launches Starship Flight 14, Deploys Starlink Satellites.
SpaceX carried out the 14th test flight of its Starship rocket, deploying Starlink satellites during the mission. The flight marks another step in testing the vehicle's ability to carry payloads to orbit, a capability central to both SpaceX's satellite internet business and its long-term exploration plans. Observers are tracking how the rocket performs as the company works toward reusing the system.
- 4Astronomer turns sinking Starlink satellites into planetary barometerโAstronomer watches Starlink satellites sinking to build a 'planetary barometer'
An astronomer is tracking the gradual orbital decay of Starlink satellites and using that data as a 'planetary barometer', since how quickly the satellites sink depends on the density of the upper atmosphere, which shifts with solar activity. The approach could offer a novel, large-scale way to monitor conditions in Earth's thermosphere using the thousands of spacecraft already in orbit.
- 5South Africa Urges Musk to Bring Starlink HomeโโI Hope Elon is Listening.โ South Africa Urges Musk on Starlink
South African officials have publicly called on Elon Musk to launch his Starlink satellite internet service in South Africa, expressing hope that the billionaire will act on the appeal. The plea highlights ongoing frustration over the service's absence in Musk's home country, where regulatory requirements around local ownership have so far kept Starlink out of the market.
- 6Bernstein reiterates SpaceX rating on Starlink growth outlookโBernstein reiterates SpaceX stock rating on Starlink growth outlook
Analyst firm Bernstein has reiterated its stock rating on SpaceX, citing a positive growth outlook for the company's Starlink satellite internet business. The endorsement points to continued confidence in Starlink's expansion as a key driver of SpaceX's valuation, though details of the price target and rating level were not specified in the announcement.
