"The 60 satellites SpaceX is set to launch Wednesday night, beginning the build-out of a broadband network of orbiting spacecraft that could eventually number thousands, are based on a new flat-panel design, with krypton-fueled plasma thrusters, high-power antennas, and a camera SpaceX says can warn of potential collisions with other objects in space." https://spaceflightnow.com/2019/…
