Spaceflight now is a blurb talking about the launches. There’s no evidence these satellites are active. No defense contractor is waiting three months for a deployment. Also, no amount of Elon shill upvotes will convince anyone you are right when you are clearly completely wrong.
There aren’t any defense contractors involved in this, it’s a commercial internet service from a for-profit company. They can take as long as they want to activate their satellites as long as they’re still communicating with the ground, which they are.
SpaceX is a defense contractor. They handle the majority of the United States govts. satellites. They are working with Northrup Grumman. They are definitely a defense contractor.
Fair, bad choice of words on my part. What I was trying to say is that Starlink isn’t a government owned asset, it’s a commercial product. While it has the potential for defense applications, the government has no reason to pressure them to activate satellites faster than SpaceX want to.
