The Next Generation of Starlink Satellites: Bigger and Fainter
A new generation of satellites is set to launch into orbit and they’ll be much brighter and bigger than before. The next generation of Starlinks, a network of satellites operated by SpaceX, will be bigger and brighter than the previous generation. They’ll be visible with the naked eye and will appear like a “bright train of stars” in the night sky. The satellites will be able to provide high-speed internet to underserved areas around the world.
The new Starlinks will be visible up to 10 times brighter than the previous generation. This means that skywatchers from all over the world will be able to spot the satellites as they move across the night sky. While the satellites may be seen as a nuisance to some, they serve an important purpose in providing internet access to people in remote areas.
