SpaceX has created a brand new website dedicated to its Starlink satellite constellation, a prelude to offering Internet service to consumers after as few as six launches.
Additionally, Starlink.com reiterated CEO Elon Muskâs estimate that SpaceX will conduct 2-6 dedicated Starlink launches â carrying at least 60 satellites each â in 2019 alone.
