SpaceX Starlink Fail: 5% Of Satellites 'No Longer In Service'

 

RELATED TO NK TIES CUT and Q#428?

 

SpaceX has admitted that three of its satellites that were launched as part of its Starlink constellation project have failed after losing contact with them. These satellites will no longer be used for the project and are expected to burn up in Earth’s atmosphere as they descend.

 

More than a month following the official launch of Starlink, SpaceX provided an update regarding the conditions of the satellites. The update was made through a report that the company sent to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the government agency that permitted SpaceX’s project.

 

In the report, the company told the FCC that 45 of its 60 Starlink satellites were successful in reaching their target altitude of 342 miles from Earth’s surface using their propulsion systems. Five satellites are still on their way to their programmed orbital altitude while another five are currently going through tests before joining the others.
