Spacex Passes 2,500 Satellites Launched

More than 2,200 Starlink satellites are currently in orbit and working. That’s about half of SpaceX’s planned first-generation network of 4,408 Starlink satellites. The 4,400 satellites will be spread among five different orbital “shells” at different altitudes and inclinations. SpaceX, founded and led by Elon Musk, has signaled it eventually intends to launch as many as 42,000 satellites. SpaceX says the Starlink network is now available to consumers in 32 countries.
