0515-EX-CN-2019 – Application question 7: Purpose of Experiment – Narrative summary. FCC, 2019. június 1. (Hozzáférés: 2019. július 4.) „SpaceX seeks an experimental authorization to test activities… tests are designed to demonstrate the ability to transmit and receive information (1) between five ground sites ("Ground-to-Ground") and (2) between four ground sites and an airborne aircraft ("Ground-to-Air")… This application seeks only to use an Earth station to transmit signals to the SpaceX satellites first from the ground and later from a moving aircraft.”

Baylor, Michael. „With Block 5, SpaceX to increase launch cadence and lower prices”, NASASpaceFlight.com, 2018. május 17. (Hozzáférés: 2018. május 22.) „The system is designed to improve global internet access by utilizing thousands of satellites in Low Earth orbit. SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell stated in a TED Talk last month that she expects the constellation to cost at least $10 billion. Therefore, reducing launch costs will be vital.”
Henry, Caleb. „FCC OKs lower orbit for some Starlink satellites”, SpaceNews, 2019. április 26. (Hozzáférés: 2019. április 28.) (angol nyelvű) „lower the orbit of nearly 1,600 of its proposed broadband satellites. The Federal Communications Commission said April 26 it was correct with SpaceX changing its plans to orbit those satellites at 550 km instead of 1150 km. SpaceX says the adjustment, requested six months ago, will make a safer space environment, since any defunct satellites at the lower altitude would reenter the Earth's atmosphere in five years even without propulsion. The lower orbit also means more distance between Starlink and competing internet constellations proposed by OneWeb and Telesat. FCC approval allows satellite companies to provide communications services in the United States. The agency granted SpaceX market access in March 2018 for 4,425 satellites using Ku-band and Ka-band spectrum, and authorized 7,518 V-band satellites in November. SpaceX's modified plans apply to the smaller of the two constellations.”
