Starlink V3
SpaceX's next-generation Starlink low-Earth orbit communication satellite, designed for the payload capacity of the Starship launch vehicle. Compared to the previous V2.0 Mini generation, it features larger dimensions, more powerful phased-array antennas, and higher per-satellite communication capacity, representing the next-generation technology platform for the Starlink constellation.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Starlink V3 satellites are expected to show significant improvements in single-satellite capacity, communication throughput, and overall network performance compared to earlier batches.
The V3 satellite is designed specifically for Starship's payload capacity, and because Starship's fairing diameter and payload mass far exceed those of Falcon 9, the theoretical single-satellite capacity may be several times that of V2.0 Mini.
