What's the story
Elon Musk's SpaceX is planning to deploy Starlink satellite internet terminals to improve the United States Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) national airspace system.
The project, dubbed TDM X, involves shipping 4,000 Starlink terminals and hopes to be fully operational within 12-18 months.
One terminal has already been installed at the FAA's air-traffic control technology lab in Atlantic City, New Jersey for testing.
Terminal testing SpaceX's Starlink initiative amid FAA scrutiny
Musk's efforts come amid recent scrutiny over the FAA's aging airspace network, after a deadly mid-air collision near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in January.
President Donald Trump called the current air-traffic control technology "obsolete" after the incident.
Musk's political influence has accelerated SpaceX's reach into government and business sectors.
In December, SpaceX won a Pentagon contract to boost Ukraine's access to a militarized version of its Starlink network.
