SpaceX has scheduled the launch of the first batch of satellites for a worldwide broadband network as early as May. It is seeking Federal Communications Commission approval to begin operations after seeking modifications to its existing authorization, such as relocating over 1,500 satellites at an altitude of 550 km instead of 1,550 km.
In November, the FCC granted Elon Musk’s space company approval to operate a constellation of more than 7,000 satellites in very low earth orbit, in addition to the 4,425 satellites it had previously authorized. Both licenses state the network must be fully deployed within nine years of issuance of the license.
According to securities filings, SpaceX offered to sell $500 million of equity in January but ended up selling $273 million. In April, it offered to sell $400 million, but sold $44 million.

SpaceX suffers an accident during ground test of Crew Dragon astronaut capsuleThe anomaly happened during part of a static fire test of the Crew Dragon’s SuperDraco engines at Florida’s Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The SuperDraco engines power the capsule’s launch abort system. I’m sure this “accident” contributed to the death of more marine life in a few hours than democrat hoax global warming has in the past 10 decades. “Suffers accident”? What a deliberately misleading tweet headline. No one was hurt. Is the author claiming a piece of hardware suffered? Disgraceful clickbait.
