Starlink V3 Satellites Capture Starship Orbit Images

During Starship Flight 13 on July 24, SpaceX launched six next-generation Starlink V3 satellites equipped with specialized cameras.

These satellites scanned Starship's heat shield, beamed back stunning footage including a composite orbital view, and demonstrated successful deployment by unfurling solar arrays, firing thrusters, and linking to the constellation via radio and lasers.

Elon Musk hailed them as a gamechanger, with capabilities up to 1 terabit per second and direct-to-device services, while Emirates expands Starlink across its fleet. Observers called the views incredible, showing how one SpaceX system now aids another.
