SpaceX has announced that they will have to de-orbit (scrap) around a hundred of their older “early-version 1<\/em>” Starlink<\/a> ultrafast low-latency broadband satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) because of a design flaw, which might otherwise cause the space platforms to fail in orbit and become non-manoeuvrable.<\/p>\n

The operator\u2019s constellation currently has around 5,438 LEO satellites<\/strong> in orbit around the Earth (altitude of below 600km) and they’re in the process of adding thousands more by the end of 2027. Customers in the UK pay from \u00a375 a month, plus \u00a3449 for the home kit (standard dish, router etc.) and \u00a320 for shipping on the \u2018Standard\u2019 package, which promises fast internet latency times of 25-50ms, downloads of c. 25-100Mbps and uploads of c. 5-10Mbps.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Starlink<\/a>\u2019s network current has 2.3 million customers across the world and just 42,000 of those are in the UK (up from 13,000 last year) \u2013 mostly in rural areas.<\/div>\n

The satellites are actually designed to deorbit naturally if they fail (i.e. they get pulled down by the earth’s gravity and atmospheric drag), but that approach can take around 5 years and also raises the danger (risk of collisions etc.) for other space users. Instead, SpaceX proactively deorbits satellites that are identified to be at an elevated risk of becoming non-manoeuvrable.<\/p>\n

SpaceX has to-date initiated controlled deorbits on 406 satellites out of the nearly 6,000 launched. Of those, 17 are currently non-manoeuvrable, passively decaying, but closely tracked to help mitigate collision risk with other active satellites. The other 95% of satellites the Starlink<\/a> team initiated controlled descent for have already de-orbited.<\/p>\n

In this case, SpaceX has identified a design flaw with a small group of their earliest satellites, which could prevent their ability to manoeuvre. Rather than risk that outcome, the company has instead opted for a controlled de-orbit that will take about six months to gradually bring the group down toward their inevitably firing death.<\/p>\n

Starlink’s Statement<\/strong><\/p>\n

“These satellites are currently maneuverable and serving users effectively, but the Starlink team identified a common issue in this small population of satellites that could increase the probability of failure in the future. The satellites will follow a safe, circular, and controlled lowering operation that should take approximately six months for most of the vehicles. Controlled, propulsive deorbit is much shorter and safer than a comparable ballistic deorbit from an equivalent altitude. All satellites will maintain maneuverability and collision avoidance capabilities during the descent. Additionally, these deorbiting satellites will take maneuver responsibility for any high-risk conjunctions consistent with space safety and sustainability best practices.<\/p>\n

As we lower and deorbit our satellites, SpaceX will continue to share high-fidelity future position and uncertainty prediction information, multiple times a day, with other operators and launch providers. Accurately knowing where every satellite<\/a> is and will be in orbit is critical to space sustainability. SpaceX encourages all satellite<\/a> operators to proactively publish information on their satellites\u2019 future positions and uncertainties, as quickly as possible after orbital insertion, including pre-launch information for which orbits the satellites will be deployed into and throughout their service lifetime.<\/p>\n

While this proactive approach comes at the cost of losing satellites that are serving users effectively, we believe it is the right thing to do to keep space safe and sustainable\u2014SpaceX encourages all satellite<\/a> owners and operators to safely de-orbit satellites before they become non-manoeuvrable. Just as importantly, even as we lower and de-orbit satellites, Starlink\u2019s customer experience will not be impacted. SpaceX has the capacity to build up to 55 satellites per week and launch more than 200 satellites per month, which allows us to continually improve our system and make it more resilient, while increasing access to high-speed, low-latency internet for more people all around the world.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Admittedly, a design flaw that affects 100 satellites is going to be a painful multi-million-pound hit for the company, albeit not one that will be enough to appreciably impact Starlink’s service quality (they’re adding more than this every month or so).
