SpaceX Five Launches From D2D Commercial Constellation

SpaceX is five launches away from having a commercial direct-to-device constellation in orbit, company Senior Director-Satellite Engineering Ben Longmier posted Wednesday on X. After that, he said, further launches will improve coverage and latency for SpaceX's telecommunications partners around the world. His post followed SpaceX's latest launch Wednesday, with 20 more Starlinks -- including 13 with D2D capabilities -- put into orbit.
