US approves SpaceX to deploy up to 7,500 Starlink satellites
By MYBRANDBOOK
The Federal Communications Commission has granted an approval to Elon Musk’s SpaceX to move forward with launching up to 7,500 next-generation satellites in its Starlink internet network. The action will allow SpaceX to begin deployment of SpaceX’s second-generation of the Starlink constellation, also known as Gen2.
"Our action will allow SpaceX to begin deployment of Gen2 Starlink, which will bring next-generation satellite broadband to Americans nationwide, including those living and working in areas traditionally unserved or underserved by terrestrial systems," FCC officials wrote in Thursday's decision order, which you can find here (opens in new tab). "Our action also will enable worldwide satellite broadband service, helping to close the digital divide on a global scale."
The FCC granted just the limited approval "to address concerns about orbital debris and space safety," agency officials wrote in Thursday's decision document. These and other issues were raised by "interested parties" regarding the Starlink 2.0 application, which SpaceX filed in 2020.
However, the FCC imposed a limit on the number of satellites in Gen2 Starlink to address concerns about orbital debris and space safety.
