Actually, these are Starlink satellites momentarily flashing sunlight towards space station," he captioned the video. According to Space.com, there are 6,764 Starlink satellites in 500-550 km orbit beaming high-speed internet to its users on ground. Notably, SpaceX has plans to launch as many as 35,000 satellites in the coming years.
Despite the more than 5,500 Starlink satellites currently in orbit, SpaceX hopes to launch up to 12,000 satellites during this phase and possibly 42,000 someday.
Currently, there are 5,549 Starlink satellites in orbit. However, ‘only’ 5,488 of them are still working. Those 61 satellites are set to deorbit and renter earth’s atmosphere in the next few weeks and months. Right now, 4,786 satellites remain operational according to McDowell.
As of early 2024, there are nearly 6,000 Starlink satellites in orbit. Eventually, SpaceX plans to build a massive constellation of 12,000 satellites, with a possible expansion to 42,000 satellites later on.
