SpaceX Chief Executive Elon Musk, in a Jan. 15 tweet, said there were 1,469 satellites active, with 272 moving to operational orbits. SpaceX's current Starlink constellation is authorized for 4,408 satellites, all in orbits at around 550 kilometers.
I'm rural and on starlink, it's amazing. There's constantly at least one satellite overhead and your dish is constantly dropping and connecting to the next one as they fly overhead
There are supposedly 4500 satellites in space but only 1500 belong to Elon Musk. A solar flare occurs, randomly knocking out all satellites in a large area -- 40 satellites in total. Somehow all 40 of them belong to Elon Musk. Please tell me how that is supposed to work.
When was this? I thought the Starlink sats came down last week?

The more you know, etc. Pretty neat
Thanks. Didn't realize there were that many.

I just got it, fast AF. I've not had issues while gaming on it. Well over 200 Mbps.
Does it drop your internet connection when it switches satellites?

They were in a pre-orbit hold, the staff tried to get em out into orbit but the sunfart was too fast.
I want to read science books that have sunfarts in it :)
What exactly is a pre-orbit hold? If I understand right, you're saying they were launching all 40 rockets in the same area at the same time?
A solar storm brought most of the last group launched, but the ones already up are fine.
The only ones damaged were the 40 or so that were just launched.
I belive their were many more up allready.
That's good.
The link doesn't explain how. Did you watch the video where he explains what it is?
