Deployment of 60 Starlink satellites confirmed
"Happy end to Scrubtober."End of webcast.Congratulations to SpaceX for the successful launch!
Once these satellites reach their target position, we will be able to roll out a fairly wide public beta in northern US & hopefully southern Canada. Other countries to follow as soon as we receive regulatory approval.

SpaceX announced acquisition of signal from Diego Garcia. How is that arranged? Diego Garcia is a military base, and Starlink is purely commercial enterprise. Is Diego Garcia a range asset, available for anyone to use? Or does SpaceX pay the military for use? Or the military is willing since they might contract with Starlink?
