The company did not specify the nature of the defect or the specific satellites at risk. SpaceX has launched 5,828 Starlinks, 5,438 of which are in orbit, including older versions launched in 2019 and 2020.
Starlink satellites removed from orbit will descend smoothly for approximately six months while maintaining maneuverability and collision avoidance. The company sees this step as compliance with safety standards in space.
