SpaceX reveals opportunity for enthusiasts to beta-test Starlink internet when launched
If you provided SpaceX with your zip code, ‘you will be notified via email if beta testing opportunities become available in your area.’ SpaceX is giving interested people an opportunity to beta-test its recently launched Starlink satellites. According to a report in ZDNet, SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk has said that the company needs about 400 Starlink satellites to provide “minor” coverage and 800 for “moderate” coverage. According to a report in Hypebeast, once a person has signed up, a return email thanks them for their interest in Starlink, adding, “Private beta testing is expected to begin later this summer, followed by public beta testing, starting with higher latitudes.” The mail further reads, “If you provided us with your zip code, you will be notified via email if beta testing opportunities become available in your area.” A Decrypt report says that while Starlink’s initial goal is to serve areas that have poor internet connectivity, Musk plans to provide low-cost internet services to urban areas as well. On 13 June, SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket carrying 58 StarLink satellites and three Planet Labs’ SkySat Earth-observation spacecraft.
