Starlink deployment is running ahead of its record-setting 2025 pace
SpaceX deployed 1,589 Starlink satellites during the first half of 2026
That is 100 more than the 1,489 satellites deployed during the same period in 2025...a year that already set a new record
Nearly 11,000 Starlink satellites are now functioning in orbit
SpaceX is mass-producing orbital internet infrastructure at an unprecedented pace
And with Starship preparing to carry next-generation V3 Starlink satellites, the next phase is going to be even bigger
