Starlink is owned and operated by SpaceX, which is also run by Musk. Elon Musk ’s satellite internet service Starlink said it had a “network outage” on Thursday. The company said it was working on a solution. There were more than 60,000 reports of an outage on Downdetector, a site that logs issues.

The major outage came the day after Starlink launched a new cellular service with T-Mobile meant to kill dead zones.

SpaceX has launched more than 8,000 Starlink satellites since 2020, building a uniquely distributed network in low-Earth orbit that has attracted intense demand from militaries, transportation industries and consumers in rural areas with poor access to traditional, fiber-based internet.
