Starlink is a satellite internet constellation operated by SpaceX providing satellite Internet access to most of the Earth.
Starshield is a classified derivative of Starlink designed to be operated for and can host payloads for military or government purposes.
The deployment of the first 1,440 satellites will be into 72 orbital planes of 20 satellites each, with a requested lower minimum elevation angle of beams to improve reception: 25° rather than the 40° of the other two orbital shells. SpaceX launched the first 60 satellites of the constellation in May 2019 into a orbit and expected up to six launches in 2019 at that time, with 720 satellites (12 × 60) for continuous coverage in 2020.
In August 2019, SpaceX expected four more launches in 2019 and at least nine launches in 2020, but since January 2020 expectations had increased to 24 total launches in 2020.
In March 2020, SpaceX reported producing six satellites per day.
SpaceX also plans to launch Starlink satellites on Starship, a rocket with a much larger payload capacity that is under development.
In February 2021, Musk stated that the satellites are traveling on 25 orbital planes clustered between 53° north and south of the equator.

Said to be "production design", these are used to test various aspects of the network, including deorbiting. They do not yet have the planned satellite interlink capabilities and they only communicate with antennas on Earth. A day after launch an amateur astronomer in the Netherlands was one of the first to publish a video showing the satellites flying across the sky as a "train" of bright lights. By five weeks post launch, 57 of the 60 satellites had been "healthy" while 3 were non-operational and derelict, but deorbited due to atmospheric drag. All working satellites were intentionally deorbited by May 2021, and all remaining failed spacecraft re-entered by October 2022. | ||||

First use of an Argon-fueled Hall-effect thruster in space, with higher thrust and specific impulse and much lower propellant cost than SpaceX's previous Krypton-fueled thrusters. With the unknown of when Starship will be able to launch the second generation satellites, SpaceX modified the original V2 blueprint into a smaller, more compact one named “V2 Mini.” This adjustment, allowed Falcon 9 to transport these satellites, though not as many, into orbit. The first launch of the second satellites occurred on Monday, February 27, 2023 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on SLC-40. Falcon 9 successfully carried 21 of these satellites into orbit later that evening. SpaceX committed to reduce debris by keeping the Starlink tension rods, which hold the V2 mini satellites together, attached to the Falcon 9 second stage. These tension rods were discarded into orbit while launching earlier version of Starlink satellites. Observations confirm these V2 mini satellites host two solar panels like the Starship V2 satellites. | ||||
