Starlink announced the start of beta test

SpaceX, which successfully launched a manned spacecraft in collaboration with NASA, is working on the Starlink project, which provides Internet services using 12,000 satellites. Starlink announced the start of the beta test and added a sign-up screen to the official site.

Starlink is a project to establish an Internet access environment in space by launching 12,000 satellites in low orbit at an altitude of 1,150 km so that high-performance Internet can be provided to all places on the planet at an affordable price. It has already finished launching 538 satellites and has received an AS number for Internet communication.

A sign-up screen appeared on Starlink’s official website to receive the latest information from Starlink. On the sign-up screen, you can enter your email address, zip code, and country. According to the content that arrives when you register an email, Starlink will start a closed beta test in the late summer of 2020 and then start a public beta test in high latitude regions. If you enter your postal code on the sign-up screen, it seems that you will be notified by email when the entered area is subject to beta testing. Related information can be found here .
