v3

Starlink V3 satellites have an operational wingspan of up to 60 meters, wider than a Boeing 737 airliner. Future Starship rockets will launch 60 of these satellites each.

Starlink reports that the first V3 satellites have successfully deployed solar arrays, fired thrusters, established connections via radio and laser links, and captured imagery of Starship.

SpaceX's Starlink team successfully established contact with all 20 V3 satellites after deployment, marking a step forward in expanding the satellite internet constellation.
