Starlink Now Operational Across Entire US As Elon Musk Becomes 'Uncancellable'
For those living off-the-grid or using Starlink as a network redundancy in case of a grid failure, the SpaceX-owned space internet company announced on X that the service is now available across the Lower 48 after deploying next-generation satellites.
"Deployment of our second generation Starlink satellites, which have 4x more capacity than the first gen, enable us to connect even more people no matter where they live," Starlink wrote in the post.
Before this announcement, large swaths of the US were pending service, with notes on the map that read coverage would expand by late 2023 or early 2024.
Data from the website Starlink Satellite Tracker shows that 5,039 satellites have been launched into low Earth orbit over the last several years.
