Track; not yet
- Why
- Spec claims are dramatic (1 Tbps/sat, 20x per-launch capacity) and activity is very high, but operational V3 has not flown for customers, the timeline has already slipped to H2 2026, and the whole program is single-threaded on Starship maturity.
- Next
- Monitor the first operational V3 deployment and real-world per-cell throughput (not spec sheets) before assuming any V3-class capacity uplift in planning; the H2-2026 payload-delivery guidance is the next checkpoint.
