[2][9] As of September 2020[update], SpaceX was launching up to 60 satellites at a time, aiming to deploy 1,584[10] of the 260 kg (570 lb) spacecraft to provide near-global service by late 2021 or 2022. The launch also surpassed ISRO's record of launching the most of satellites in one mission (143), taking to 1,025 the cumulative number of satellites deployed for Starlink to that date. Owned by billionaire CEO Elon Musk, … Starlink is also bound to face some competition in the coming years from Amazon and other satellite internet providers ready to invest in the technology.

SpaceX asked to triple the number of orbital planes in the 550 km (340 mi) orbital shell, from 24 to 72, arguing that they could then place satellites into multiple planes from a single launch. [47], By April 2019, SpaceX was transitioning their satellite efforts from research and development to manufacturing, with the planned first launch of a large group of satellites to orbit, and the clear need to achieve an average launch rate of "44 high-performance, low-cost spacecraft built and launched every month for the next 60 months" to get the 2,200 satellites launched to support their FCC spectrum allocation license assignment.
