SpaceX is set to launch its first V3 Starlink satellites on Starship as early as next week, according to on-chain news from MetaEra. This mission represents a key milestone for the company, as Starship could enhance Starlink’s performance and expand commercial satellite deployments. Starlink generated nearly 55% of SpaceX’s Q2 revenue. The company also plans to deploy an orbital data center to tap into the $26.5 trillion AI market—a move that could fuel future token launch announcements.

ME News reports that on September 11 (UTC+8), SpaceX has ambitious plans for Starship. If all goes according to plan, this 407-foot-tall rocket may one day be used to build a network of orbital AI data centers and transport humans to the Moon and Mars. But first, the company plans to use Starship to launch a new batch of upgraded, revenue-generating Starlink satellites into space. SpaceX intends to deploy its first V3 satellites into orbit during a critical Starship test flight as early as next week. Getting Starship to operate as envisioned is vital for SpaceX and its shareholders. The company needs Starship not only to revitalize its own Starlink communications network—which contributed nearly 55% of the company’s revenue in the second quarter—but also to launch satellites for a range of commercial purposes. Then, perhaps its most profitable mission yet: placing a futuristic orbital data center into space, which SpaceX says could help unlock the $26.5 trillion AI market. (Bloomberg) (Source: ODAILY)
