SpaceX has launched 96 Falcon 9 missions so far in 2024, two-thirds of them dedicated to building out the Starlink network. The company has also launched two Falcon Heavy missions and three test flights of its Starship megarocket this year.

The company's effort to deliver gigabit speeds to Starlink users will also harness a wider range of radio spectrum, according to a new FCC filing.

Elon Musk's satellite internet company told the FCC that a few tweaks to its “orbital configuration and operational parameters” could result in nearly 10 times faster downloads.

The internet satellite network wants FCC permission to tweak some technical specs to achieve broadband-fast data speeds, which could change how remote businesses use the internet.
