The company's effort to deliver gigabit speeds to Starlink users will also harness a wider range of radio spectrum, according to a new FCC filing.

Elon Musk's satellite internet company told the FCC that a few tweaks to its “orbital configuration and operational parameters” could result in nearly 10 times faster downloads.

SpaceX's Starlink satellites now make up 40% of reentering satellite debris. But is Elon Musk's space company the worst polluter of Earth's upper atmosphere?

The internet satellite network wants FCC permission to tweak some technical specs to achieve broadband-fast data speeds, which could change how remote businesses use the internet.
