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
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.

Does it drop your internet connection when it switches satellites?
