Inclination Shells

Same four inclination bins as the ground-track colours. A row that names a degree is counted there. Gen1 rows that do not name one use the original groups: 1 and 4 at 53°, 2 at 70°, 3 at 97°, and 5 at 43°. Anything else is listed on its own, and the rows still add up to the in-orbit total.

• 53° · ~550 km

  Main mid-latitude shells (53.0° and 53.2°).

  5,079 in orbit

• 43° · ~560 km

  Lower-inclination planes for denser coverage at temperate latitudes.

  3,608 in orbit

• 70° · ~530 km

  High-latitude shell.

  978 in orbit

• 97° · ~560 km

  Near-polar sun-synchronous planes.

  1,523 in orbit

• Unstated

  Starlink V3 does not name an inclination.

Ground Tracks

Subset of 12 satellites, not the full constellation. Three each from about 53°, 70°, 43°, and 97° inclination shells. Tracks are one revolution from each satellite’s published GP epoch, propagated with SGP4. Positions are not invented.

Visible Trains

Times when a recent launch is still a string of lights: dark sky, satellites in sunlight, at least 20° up, three or more in the same pass.

Revenue, Profit, and Customers

Drag the year to move through prospectus history and a naive projection to 2030.

Revenue Profit SubscribersDashed = last reported growth held still

Solid line is prospectus history. After March 2026 the dashed line holds the last reported growth rate still. That is not a SpaceX forecast. Revenue and profit after year-end 2025 are trailing twelve months: 2025 plus Q1 2026 minus Q1 2025. The connectivity unit is primarily Starlink.
