Starlink Next Generation Satellite Network Project
Elon Musk’s Starlink app has already appeared on the App Store. The launch of the official Starlink client app for iOS is clear evidence of the imminent start of public beta testing.
The new-generation satellite network project Starlink, which is being developed by the company of the famous American businessman Elon Musk SpaceX, is apparently about to be launched. Proof of this recently appeared in the Apple App Store catalog: the company added the Starlink app there, according to itc.ua.
As part of the project, SpaceX intends to provide broadband Internet access to everyone. On October 24, it sent another batch of 60 Starlink Internet satellites into orbit as part of its centennial mission since the first successful launch of Falcon 1 in 2008.
It was the Starlink 14 v1.0 mission that would mark the start of the most extensive testing of the Starlink network. The launch of the official Starlink client app for iOS is clear evidence of the imminent start of public beta testing. The application is designed to easily and conveniently configure the Starlink network connection, test speed, and troubleshoot connection issues. The Starlink app is not yet available on the Google Play Store.

At the end of this year, according to the company’s plans, the official launch of Starlink will take place in the United States and Canada, and in 2021 it will begin its worldwide deployment.
Now SpaceX is developing the next-generation Starship spacecraft, which will allow about 400 Starlink satellites to be put into orbit in a single launch; in the future, according to the idea of SpaceX, it will provide the Internet on Mars.
For the foreseeable future, SpaceX may spin off the global Starlink satellite internet project into a separate company and go public. But, as Musk recently clarified, this won’t happen anytime soon.
Recall that we have already reported that SpaceX has launched another batch of satellites. And before that, it attracted a record $ 1.9 billion in investment.
