SpaceX reportedly nears Starlink launch in Yemen

SpaceX Starlink could soon get a launch date in Yemen following a licensing deal between the company and the local government.

Bloomberg reports that the government of Yemen is finalizing a license for Starlink to operate in the country. The procedure may take another month to launch terminals. However, there’s no official announcement made from the government side.

Starlink is a satellite-driven internet service terminal designed and developed by SpaceX to enable internet in remote locations across the globe.

This terminal doesn’t require a technician for installation and could operate with a few setups. The Starlink terminal is portable and can be moved with ease.

A previous report claims that people in Yemen already have access to Starlink sourced illegally from other available markets. This claim has been denied by SpaceX CEO calling them “Categorically false”.
