NEWS: SpaceX has announced that they will begin launching its third-generation @Starlink satellites in the first half of 2026, which are expected to bring massive improvements.

"Each one of these new satellites is designed to provide over a terabit per second of downlink capacity (> XXXXX Gbps) and over XXX Gbps of uplink capacity to customers on the ground. This is more than 10x the downlink and 24x the uplink capacity of the second-generation satellites.

Each Starlink launch of third-generation satellites on Starship is projected to add XX Tbps of capacity to the network, more than XX times the capacity added with each launch today. Additionally, third-generation satellites will use SpaceX’s next generation computers, modems, beamforming, and switching and will operate at low altitude to further improve the network’s latency."
