SpaceX is preparing the new #Starlink user terminal - rev5
(Everyone will call it Gen4 anyway).
The current revision is rev5_pez_prod2, meaning the terminal should already be in production and likely to hit the market in Q2 2026.
The new terminal lies somewhere between the current REV4 and Mini terminal. It is much smaller than the rev4 and slightly larger than the Mini. Panel size is approximately 274 x 350 mm.
It uses new FEM chips (codename is "Pez", previous was "Panda").
Only 2 beamformers (similar to Mini) and 820 antenna elements. In comparison, rev4 has 1536 elements, and the latest Mini is 571.
The max EIRP is about 24.63 dBm (rev4 is 26.85 dBm), and it seems that the new device has better EIRP stability across a wider temperature range.
It's not 100%, but it seems this is the first Starlink terminal without a GPS receiver.
The input voltage is 54V with a maximum power of 111W.
SHOCKER: S&P 500 will NOT fast track SpaceX. So it will take AT LEAST a year, probably more. This is wild considering every other big boy index is 5-15 days. This could create significant return dispersion bt 'passive' indexes. Choose wisely.
Watch now! Our innovations and technological advancements are redefining industries on Earth, while we aim to create new ones on the Moon, Mars, and beyond.

Here's a few more Harrier photos from the early 2000s. The KC-10 photo was a shot from Afghanistan in 2002'ish.
All the other ones are from 29 Palms, California.
Realising Apple went public at under $2 billion and 15 times revenue in 1980.
SpaceX wants you to buy at $2 trillion and 100 times revenue in 2026.
That is not getting in early. That is being the exit for venture capitalists who have held this equity for years at a fraction of what you are being asked to pay.
Almost none of the retail investors buying this IPO will read the 300 pages before the book closes on June 11.
That is your entire competitive advantage right there.
It's likely nowhere near $2,700/kg, at least for SpaceX's customers. Average payload for customers on F9 is around 5,000kg. At ~$70M launch price, that comes to $14,000/kg.
