Starlink explained: Everything you should know about Elon Musk' s satellite internet venture
The billionaire SpaceX CEO is launching satellites into orbit and promising to deliver high-speed broadband internet to as many users as possible.
When you think of billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, chances are good that you think of his electric car company Tesla, his space-exploration venture SpaceX or his stint hosting Saturday Night Live (to say nothing of his history of stirring up controversy on social media or smoking weed with Joe Rogan). Maybe you just know him as one of the richest people on Earth.
Something you might be less familiar with is a venture of Musk' s called Starlink, which aims to sell internet connections to almost anyone on the planet by way of a growing network of private satellites orbiting overhead.
After years of development within SpaceX -- and after securing nearly $885.5 million in grant funds from the Federal Communications Commission at the end of 2020 -- Starlink' s progress seems to be accelerating in 2021. In January, after about three years' worth of successful launches, the project surpassed 1,000 satellites delivered into orbit -- in June, SpaceX said the number sits at roughly 1,800. In February, Musk' s company disclosed that Starlink was serving more than 10,000 customers. Now, after expanding preorders to even more potential customers, Musk says that Starlink has shipped more than 100,000 satellite internet terminals to customers in 14 countries.
SpaceX says that it expects Starlink to reach global serviceability sometime this fall -- though regional availability will depend on regulatory approval. During a talk at Mobile World Congress in June of this year, Musk told an audience that Starlink would be available worldwide except at the North and South Poles starting in August.
The budding internet service isn' t without its controversies. Members of the scientific community have raised concerns about the impact of Starlink' s low-earth orbit satellites on night sky visibility. Meanwhile, satellite internet competitors including Viasat, HughesNet and Amazon' s Project Kuiper have taken notice of Starlink' s momentum, too, prompting plenty of regulatory jousting and attempts to slow Musk down.
All of that makes Starlink well worth keeping an eye on in 2021. For now, here' s everything you should know about it.
OK, start at the beginning: What is Starlink, exactly?
Technically a division within SpaceX, Starlink is also the name of the spaceflight company' s growing network -- or " constellation" -- of orbital satellites. The development of that network began in 2015, with the first prototype satellites launched into orbit in 2018.
In the years since, SpaceX has deployed over 1,000 Starlink satellites into orbit across dozens of successful launches. In January, for its first Starlink mission of 2021, SpaceX launched 60 satellites into orbit from Kennedy Space Center using the landable, relaunchable Falcon 9 orbital rocket. Subsequent launches, the most recent of which delivered another 60 satellites into orbit on May 26, have brought the total number of satellites in the constellation up to 1,737, though some of those satellites are prototypes or nonoperational units that aren' t functioning parts of the network.
And those satellites can connect my home to the internet?
That' s the idea, yes.
Just like existing providers of satellite internet like HughesNet or Viasat, Starlink wants to sell internet access -- particularly to people in rural areas and other parts of the world who don' t already have access to high-speed broadband.
" Starlink is ideally suited for areas of the globe where connectivity has typically been a challenge," the Starlink website reads. " Unbounded by traditional ground infrastructure, Starlink can deliver high-speed broadband internet to locations where access has been unreliable or completely unavailable."
All you need to do to make the connection is set up a small satellite dish at your home to receive the signal and pass the bandwidth on to your router. There' s even a Starlink app for Android and iOS that uses augmented reality to help customers pick the best location and position for their receivers.
Starlink' s service is only available in select regions in the US, Canada and abroad at this point, but the service now boasts more than 100,000 satellite terminals shipped to customers, and the coverage map will continue to grow as more satellites make their way into the constellation. Eventually, Starlink hopes to blanket the entire planet in a usable, high-speed Wi-Fi signal.
How fast is Starlink' s internet service?
" Users can expect to see data speeds vary from 50 to 150 megabits per second and latency from 20 to 40 milliseconds in most locations over the next several months," Starlink' s website says, while also warning of brief periods of no connectivity at all. " As we launch more satellites, install more ground stations and improve our networking software, data speed, latency and uptime will improve dramatically."
To that end, Musk tweeted in February that he expects the service to double its top speeds to 300Mbps by the end of 2021.
CNET' s John Kim signed up for the service at his home in California and recently began testing it out at a variety of locations. At home, he averaged download speeds around 78Mbps, and latency around 36ms. You can see more of his first impressions in the video posted above, or by clicking here.
How much does Starlink cost?
Starlink has begun accepting preorders from customers interested in joining the company' s " Better Than Nothing" beta program. The cost of the service is billed at $99 per month, plus taxes and fees, plus an initial payment of $500 for the mountable satellite dish and router that you' ll need to install at home.
Starlink says that it' s taking orders from customers on a first-come, first-served basis and that some preorders could take as long as six months to fulfill.
$99 per month is a lot for an internet connection, especially one that isn' t nearly as fast as a fiber connection, but Musk is betting that the cost will be worth it for people who have thus far lived without access to a reliably fast connection at all.
SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell recently told a forum on satellite technology that Starlink had no plans to add speed or pricing tiers, with the intention of keeping the service' s pricing as straightforward as possible. Additionally, Shotwell said that she expects the $500 upfront cost of the receiver dish to come down in the coming years.
Where is Starlink available?
Despite promising to blanket the entire globe in coverage by this fall, Starlink service is currently limited to select regions in select countries, but the coverage map will grow considerably as more satellites join the constellation. Per Musk, the list of countries currently serviced by the growing network of low-earth orbit satellites includes the US, Canada, the UK, France, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Ireland, Belgium, Switzerland, Denmark, Portugal, Australia and New Zealand. Starlink' s preorder agreement includes options for requesting service in other countries, too, including Italy, Poland, Spain and Chile.
There' s still a ways to go -- Starlink will likely need at least 10,000 satellites in orbit before it can claim to offer full service to a majority of the globe (and SpaceX has shown signs that it wants as many as 42,000 satellites in the constellation). Right now, it' s only about 20% of the way there at best, with coverage focused on regions sitting between 45 and 53 degrees north latitude.
Still, Musk has been bullish about the Starlink timeline. During an interview at 2021' s Mobile World Congress, Musk said that Starlink will hit worldwide availability except at the North and South Poles starting in August. Earlier in June, Shotwell expressed a similar sentiment, and said that Starlink would reach global serviceability sometime this fall.
" We' ve successfully deployed 1,800 or so satellites, and once all those satellites reach their operational orbit we will have continuous global coverage so that should be like [the] September time frame," Shotwell said.
Why satellites, anyway? Isn' t fiber faster?
Fiber, or internet delivered via ground-laid fiber-optic cable, offers upload and download speeds that are indeed much faster than satellite internet -- but, as companies like Google will tell you, there' s nothing fast about deploying the infrastructure necessary to get fiber to people' s homes. That' s not to say that there' s anything simple about shooting satellites into space, but with fewer sharp-elbowed competitors -- and with a lot less red tape to cut through -- there' s every reason to believe that services like Starlink will reach the bulk of underserved communities long before fiber ever will. Recent FCC filings also suggest that Starlink could ultimately double as a dedicated phone service, too.
And don' t forget that this is Elon Musk we' re talking about. SpaceX is the only company on the planet with a landable, reusable rocket capable of delivering payload after payload into orbit. That' s a mighty advantage in the commercial space race. On top of that, Musk said in 2018 that Starlink will help provide SpaceX with revenue needed to fund the company' s long-held ambition to establish a base on Mars.
If that day arrives, it' s also likely that SpaceX will try to establish a satellite constellation on the red planet, too. That means that Starlink customers are potentially doubling as guinea pigs for the Martian wireless networks of the future.
" If you send a million people to Mars, you better provide some way for them to communicate," Shotwell said in 2016, speaking about the company' s long-term vision for Starlink. " I don' t think the people who go to Mars are going to be satisfied with some terrible, old-fashioned radios. They' ll want their iPhones or Androids on Mars."
