FCC Filings:

SAT-LOA-20161115-00118
SAT-LOA-20170726-00110

These are the Starlink Ku/Ka-band filings for 4425 satellites.  Approved March 29, 2018
Deployment milestone dates: 50% March 29, 2024.  100% March 29, 2027.
(the 1275km and 1325km shells are STEAM-2, others are STEAM-1)


SAT-LOA-20170301-00027
This is the Starlink V-band filing.  It has 7000 additional satellites in a VLEO constellation and adds V-band frequencies to the original 4425 satellite Ku/Ka-band constellation.  Adopted November 15, 2018 (document released November 19, 2018.)
Deployment milestone dates: 50% November 19, 2024.  100% November 19, 2027.


SAT-MOD-20181108-00083
This modification would allow the initial shell (1584 sats) of the Ku/Ka-band constellation to be deployed at 550km altitude instead of 1150km. It also changes the configuration in that shell to 24 planes of 66 satellites.  The old plan was 32 planes of 50 satellites in that shell.
Approved April 26, 2019


SAT-MOD-20190830-00087 / SAT-STA-20190924-00098
This modification would restructure the 550km shell to have 72 planes of 22 satellites.  Approved December 19, 2019.


SAT-MOD-20200417-00037
This modification would lower the rest of the satellites that were to be deployed above 1000km, and move them into the 540-570km altitude range.  It would also change the inclinations of some planes, placing 520 of the satellites into 97.6 degree orbits, 720 in 70 degree, 1584 in 53.2 deg, 1584 in 53 deg.
Submitted April 17, 2020  Granted April 23, 2021


SAT-LOA-20200526-00055  Callsign: S3069
This filing for the second generation Starlink constellation has 30,000 satellites between 328km and 614km altitude using Ku-, Ka-, and E-band frequencies.
submitted May 26, 2020
partial grant Dec. 1, 2022 for up to 7500 satellites at 53, 43, 33 degrees inclination, Ku- and Ka-band.
Must launch 50% by Dec. 1, 2028, and rest by Dec. 1, 2031


SAT-AMD-20210818-00105  (fcc.report)
This filing amends the second generation constellation. It lists two different orbital configurations that could be used depending on which launch vehicle is available for deployment (whether Starship is successful).
Submitted 2021-08-18

https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=48981.0;attach=2060851;sess=45420


SAT-MOD-20220725-00074
This filing asks to add two small frequency blocks at 2000-2020MHz and 2180-2200MHz for MSS service.  The payload would be added to the Starlink Gen1 sats.

Organizational Structure:

The satellites (and associated government filings) belong to Space Exploration Holdings, LLC, a "provider of satellite broadband services" that is a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Space Exploration Technologies Corp.

The ground station and user terminal filings have been done by SpaceX Services, Inc., a sister company of Space Exploration Holdings, LLC.

TIBRO Corp. seems to be used as a parent organization for local branches set up in various countries to hold the local telecommunications licenses needed to provide service.  Canada, Australia, Netherlands, UK.  (branches have been added in many other countries, and many of the names have been changed from TIBRO to Starlink).

Starlink Services, LLC (a wholly owned subsidiary of SpaceX) holds the rights to the winning SpaceX bids from the RDOF auction and will be the telecommunications carrier implementing service in the US.
