Current status

V2 Mini satellites launch on Falcon 9 several times a week. Next-generation V3 satellites (~1 Tbps downlink each, only launchable on Starship) began deployment on July 24, 2026, when Starship Flight 13 released the first 20 operational V3s on a suborbital arc and SpaceX confirmed contact with all of them. SpaceX is now targeting September 28, 2026 for Flight 14 (slipped from September 22), the vehicle's first planned orbital insertion, carrying 26 Starlink V3 satellites. SpaceX says a 'critical mass' of about 1,000 V3 satellites is needed before the new hardware meaningfully improves network capacity, expected around Q2 2027.
