Astronomers still can't see

SpaceX's attempt to reduce the reflectivity of Starlink satellites is working, but not nearly enough to make astronomers happy.

Playing with forest connections

A beta tester of SpaceX's new Starlink satellite internet service tested his gear in a national forest which gets no cell service from any carrier.

Bad in terms of volume

More than three percent  of SpaceX's Starlink satellites have proven to be unresponsive and are no longer maneuvering in orbit, which could prove hazardous to other satellites and spacecraft in orbit.

Thunderbolts and lightning say astronomers. 

After a two month gap, SpaceX has resumed launching batches of dozens of satellites in its gambit to blanket Earth with high speed internet access but moves to stop them interfering with astronomy are unlikely to work.

StarLink satellite-broadband constellation

SpaceX has received government approval to deploy up to 1 million user terminals in the United States for its Starlink satellite-broadband constellation.

Put 60 satellites in orbit

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket overcame a rare in-flight engine failure soon after launch from Florida’s Space Coast and placed 60 satellites in orbit for the company’s Starlink Internet network.

May flight likely

A manned flight of the SpaceX Crew Dragon could take off on 7 May.

Rocket will stand 400 feet high, taller than NASA’s Saturn V

During a conference in Mexico on Tuesday at the International Astronautical Congress, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk unveiled the company’s plan to deploy human spaceflights to Mars using a proprietary transportation system capable of carrying at least 100 passengers per flight.
