According to reports, Elon Musk's SpaceX is having to contend with slower Starlink internet speeds as demand rises.

According to a source, SpaceX will soon begin launching a new generation of Starlink broadband satellites, which could aid the business in coping with the demand boom.

Despite deploying hundreds of first-generation Starlink satellites on Falcon 9 rockets this year, SpaceX, which Elon Musk established in 2002, is experiencing congestion on its internet network.

Launch calendars(opens in new tab) indicate that SpaceX is planning to launch another Starlink mission on December 28, subject to weather and technical issues.

The most recent Starlink launch took place on December 17.

The Gen2 Starlink satellites, which are larger and more powerful than the current generation, may be launched for the first time on that mission.

In a recent filing with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC), SpaceX said that it plans to start launching Starlink Gen2 craft by the end of 2022, SpaceNews reported.
