SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said future Starship flights will carry more than 50 terabits per second (Tbps) of Starlink bandwidth to orbit, linking the rocket’s satellite-launch role to network expansion as communications demand grows.
The figure refers to bandwidth future missions would carry; it does not establish Starlink’s current operating capacity.
Starship is intended to transport people and cargo to orbit, with reuse part of its design. For Starlink, launching satellites at scale could make additional network capacity possible as communications demand grows.
In an earlier flight, Super Heavy came down in Gulf waters while Starship made it to orbit, a milestone EconoTimes previously reported.
