v3 shipped. The work didn't stop there. What's in build now isn't the next update, it's the next phase of what Shekel is. Details when they're ready. No dates, no links, nothing you need to do right now. The chart's been quiet. The desk never was

Starship V3 is so powerful that it is almost impossible to comprehend the scale A fully fueled Starship carries more than 5,000 metric tons of methalox That propellant contains roughly 13–14 kilotons of TNT-equivalent chemical energy To put it in perspective: • Hiroshima: ~15–16 kt • Nagasaki: ~21 kt So the raw chemical energy sitting inside one fully fueled Starship is literally in the same energy ballpark as the Hiroshima atomic bomb And SpaceX is building this machine to fly, land, refuel and fly again Absolutely insane engineering

Starlink V3 is coming — and it changes everything. Each new satellite will deliver around 1 Tbps of downlink capacity and 160 Gbps of uplink — roughly 10x and 22x more than the current generation. Combined with lower orbits and Starship launches, this means: • Far more users supported • Multi-gigabit speeds becoming realistic • Significantly lower latency • A network built for the AI and high-bandwidth future This is not just an upgrade. It’s the foundation for the next decade of global connectivity.

Starlink V3 is a massive leap forward Each V3 satellite is designed to support: • 1 Tbps downlink • 160 Gbps uplink That is roughly: • 10x more downlink capacity than V2 • 22x more uplink capacity than V2 But the real magic is in the antennas and chips Starlink V3 supports 2,048 downlink and uplink beams, compared with just 192 downlink and 144 uplink beams on V2 Backhaul uplink supports 60 GHz of spectrum across frequencies and polarizations (4.3× more than V2) That means far more users can be served at the same time, with beams dynamically adapting to demand in both dense cities and remote regions SpaceX-developed beamformer and modem chips are doing the heavy lifting, with upgraded chips supporting around 64x more throughput per modem chip V3 technology will support future Starlink Mobile Gen 2 satellites, delivering terrestrial-like LTE speeds directly to unmodified smartphones This is Starlink becoming a planet-scale internet infrastructure layer
