SpaceX Seeks FCC Approval for Lower-Orbit Starlinks

SpaceX Applies to FCC to Orbit Second-Generation Starlink Satellites Closer to Earth

SpaceX has submitted a request to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), seeking permission to have some of its second-generation Starlink satellites operate at lower altitudes. The move is aimed at improving internet speeds and service quality. This request aligns with the FCC’s previous authorization in December 2022 for SpaceX to deploy 7,500 second-generation satellites.
