January 13, 2026, 1:12 AM EST. The FCC has approved SpaceX to deploy 7,500 more Gen2 Starlink satellites, bringing the total to 15,000. The agency also authorized upgrades to Gen2 satellites with advanced form factors and technology to operate across more frequencies and add additional orbital shells, aiming to improve global coverage and performance. SpaceX can offer internet and mobile services, including direct-to-cell connectivity outside the United States and supplemental coverage within the US. In the US, SpaceX partners with T-Mobile to provide satellite-to-phone service, with voice calls planned for the future. Ars Technica notes SpaceX moved 4,400 satellites from 341 miles to 298 miles to reduce collision risk. The move follows a 2020 request for 29,988, of which 7,500 was granted in 2022 to safeguard the orbital environment.
