Invalid contract
At time of writing (2025 March), Starship is still a prototype rocket & has not deployed anything to orbit yet.
This question will resolve when Starship successfully deploys 1+ satellites (eg, Starlink) to orbit AND this has already happened once before.
Motive: This launch should correlate with the end of Starship testing & the start of a useful decrease in price to LEO.
Clarifications:
Starship doing orbital fuel transfer would not count
The satellites must stay on their intended trajectories for at least 24 hours after deployment
As with all my questions, i might bet on this.
(New clarification 2025 Aug 27) Only operational machines count as satellites, not mass simulators, dummies, debris, or anything inert.
Update 2025-08-27 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - Only operational satellites count. Mass simulators, dummy payloads, debris, and other inert objects do not qualify as satellites for resolution.
