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.
