>> The filings lay out a plan to put 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit
>> Last year, SpaceX launched the first two prototype satellites for its Starlink broadband data constellation, which is projected to grow to more than 12,000 satellites in low Earth orbit.
>> OneWeb had its first six broadband satellites launched in February, and plans to put hundreds more in place over the next year or two
>> Telesat put its first prototype broadband satellite in low Earth orbit last year, and plans to have hundreds more launched
Had no idea these networks would be so big. This sounds bonkers! I wonder large these birds are and how many go up per launch?
