What's the story
SpaceX has filed a proposal with the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to improve its Starlink satellite internet service.
The company thinks that by modifying the "orbital configuration and operational parameters" of its satellites, it can dramatically increase download speeds.
The proposed changes are part of a plan to deliver gigabit-per-second broadband service across the US and around the world.
Satellite modifications SpaceX seeks to modify satellite elevation angles
SpaceX also plans to tweak the elevation angles of its satellites to enhance network performance.
The company intends to reduce its minimum elevation angle from 25 degrees to 20 degrees for satellites operating between altitudes of 400km and 500km.
"Reducing the minimum elevation angle in this way will enhance customer connectivity by allowing satellites to connect to more earth stations directly and to maintain connections with earth stations for a longer period of time while flying overhead," SpaceX told FCC.
