The Starlink 2.0 satellites were approved for deployment by the FCC on December 1st.
The decision order states that the FCC will allow the deployment of Gen2 Starlink, which will bring next- generation satellite broadband to Americans nationwide, including those living and working in areas traditionally unserved or underserved. The action will help to close the digital divide on a global scale.
The megaconstellation has been criticized by many Astrononomers. Concerns have been raised that these thousands of spaceships will interfere with optical and radio observations of the night sky.
The FCC had given the go-ahead for 12,000 Starlink satellites to be deployed.
