the coverage of Starlink worldwide will cover the entire globe, with the exception of North Pole and South Pole. The objective, according Musk, is that the internet brought by the project's satellites reaches a percentage of the population without access to good connections, such as fiber optics and 5G. Currently, satellites Starlink provide internet to 12 countries, and have 69 s, with a forecast that over the next 12 months another 500.000 s will the program.

The project Starlink aims to provide fast and widely available satellite internet. The program uses technologies that ensure cost savings for customers and greater connection coverage, based on the four high-performance antennas that each satellite in the service has. Satellites form a wide and high-capacity network, reaching regions that current internet and telecommunications operators cannot reach.

Currently, antennas that are installed in customers' homes cost US$499, but Musk wants to reduce that cost to $300 or $250. Also according to the CEO of SpaceX, each antenna costs the company more than US$1.000. Other operating costs will also be reduced, from launching more satellites into orbit at once. The infrastructure made by the project can also be used in partnerships with telecommunications companies, for the backhaul of these companies' networks, that is, to make the connection between the connection core and its peripheral sub-networks, helping to reduce the costs of SpaceX's satellite internet infrastructure.
