About Starlink

Updated 2026-09-04

Starlink is a satellite internet constellation operated by Starlink Services, LLC, a subsidiary of SpaceX, providing high-speed, low-latency broadband internet globally. As of late 2025, SpaceX has launched over 10,000 Starlink satellites, making it the largest satellite constellation ever deployed and comprising approximately 65% of all active satellites in orbit. The service has grown to over 8 million active subscribers worldwide, with 2 million in the United States, adding roughly 12,200 new users daily.

Starlink serves residential, business, maritime, aviation, and government customers across more than 70 countries. The constellation utilizes AI-powered beamforming, low-latency routing, and edge computing technologies. SpaceX maintains an aggressive launch cadence of approximately 233 satellites per month, with plans to expand to 12,000 satellites initially and potentially 34,400 in later phases.
