At time of writing (2025 March), Starship is still a prototype rocket & has not deployed anything to orbit yet.

This question will resolve when Starship successfully deploys 1+ satellites (eg, Starlink) to orbit AND this has already happened once before.

Motive: This launch should correlate with the end of Starship testing & the start of a useful decrease in price to LEO.

Clarifications:

  • Starship doing orbital fuel transfer would not count

  • The satellites must stay on their intended trajectories for at least 24 hours after deployment

  • As with all my questions, i might bet on this.
