Starship has a side hatch that works like a PEZ dispenser SpaceX literally calls it the “PEZ dispenser” Flat satellites are stacked vertically inside. A small side hatch opens and a motorized track pushes them out one at a time - exactly like a PEZ dispenser. After one deploys, the next drops into position and repeats Right now, launching satellites means: → Expensive rockets or long waits for rideshares → $50–200 million per launch → One or a few satellites at a time With Starship’s PEZ dispenser: → Dozens per launch (up to 60+ Starlink V3) → Projected $10–30 million per launch (fully reusable) → Targeting well under $100 per kg Current rideshare prices sit at ~$7,000 per kg on Falcon 9 and are significantly higher with other providers Starship is projected to bring that cost down to well below $100 per kg, a potential 10–100x cost reduction depending on flight rate and reuse The satellite industry spent 60 years building around expensive, infrequent launches SpaceX just turned the entire model into a high-volume vending machine
