Given the much lower altitude, what would be the lifetime of these with the available propellant? The gradual drag would be much higher. Interested in thoughts by @planet4589 on that one.
Elon Musk@elonmusk· May 31, 2025With the version 3 Starlink satellites, which start launching on Starship in 6 to 9 months, we should be able to get latency below 20ms.
The new, much larger satellites will be at ~350km instead of ~550km altitude, which cuts latency due to speed of light down to ~5ms.

They have large tanks of argon for station -keeping
