SpaceX started launching Starlink satellites in 2015.

As of September 2024, the constellation consists of over 7,000 mass-produced small satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) that communicate with designated ground transceivers. Nearly 12,000 satellites are planned to be deployed, with a possible later extension to 34,400.

SpaceX announced reaching more than 1 million subscribers in December 2022, 2 million subscribers in September 2023, and 3 million subscribers in May 2024.

The SpaceX satellite development facility in Redmond, Washington houses the Starlink research, development, manufacturing, and orbit control facilities.

In May 2018, SpaceX estimated the total cost of designing, building and deploying the constellation would be at least US$10 billion.

Revenues from Starlink in 2022 were reportedly $1.4 billion accompanied by a net loss, with a small profit being reported that began only in 2023.

Revenue is expected to reach $6.6 billion in 2024.
