Overview

SpaceX filed a request with the FCC on Friday seeking approval to put a constellation of 1 million data‑center satellites into orbit. While the FCC is unlikely to approve a network that expansive, SpaceX’s strategy has been to request approval for unrealistically large numbers of satellites as a way to secure permission for smaller, more feasible deployments later on.
