• The mission aims to deploy dummy Version 3 Starlink satellites, paving the way for operational launches of real satellites by September or october.
• Version 3 Starlink satellites represent a significant upgrade, offering up to 1 Tbps downlink capacity (10x enhancement over current V2 Mini satellites) and direct service to cellphones.
• Successful deployment will increase bandwidth per launch by 20 times, enabling support for 24-50 million customers by late 2026 compared to today’s ~6 million users.
• As of august 2025:

– ~8,100 active Starlink satellites in orbit.
– Total constellation bandwidth capacity is about 800 Tbps, with median user speeds of 100-200 Mbps during peak hours.
– Added capacities between Falcon and Next-spacecraft missions forecast strong growth post weekly routine consistent-links billion right now deploy
