SpaceX is now inviting users to join its satellite-powered Starlink internet ahead of a public beta.

Starlink is the current name for this plan, trademarked by SpaceX in late August 2017. The entire project could be up and running by 2024, if the current timeline holds.

SpaceX filed two trademarks on the same day in August 2017, revealing more information about the Internet plans.

The Elon Musk owned aerospace company is now letting people who are interested in the service sign up to, in the company's words, 'get updates on Starlink news and service availability in your area.'

By filling out an email form with a zip code, prospective customers will get notifications on when or if they're able to join the Starlink service once it's opened up.

A statement from Starlink read:

'If you provided us with your zip code, you will be notified via email if beta testing opportunities become available in your area,' reads a message sent to users who sign up.

'In the meantime, we will continue to share with you updates about general service availability and upcoming Starlink launches.'

The beta is expected to open up in later this summer of 2020 or in early fall and will have about 800 satellites in all.

In this episode we will be taking a look at 3 key elements that we know about Starlink.
