Starlink has hit a substantial subscriber milestone, largely thanks to its record user growth over the past six months.

SpaceX has been laboring toward profitability ever since its founding by Elon Musk. One of its primary tools to help achieve that financial success is its satellite internet service, Starlink. Now, as the service has grown in both coverage and offerings, it has reached a new subscriber milestone, which could be critical as the company probes a potential IPO.

According to SpaceX, initially reported by Sawyer Merrit on Twitter, Starlink has achieved a subscriber count of 1.5 million users and a record user growth of 3,600 new subscribers daily.

In celebrating reaching this astronomical subscriber count, SpaceX has published a video to its Instagram showing off some of the incredible projects its Starlink service is being used for.

Helping to grow its subscriber count so substantially over the past six months has been the expansion of services and offerings from the internet provider. Most notably, by expanding into aviation and maritime use cases, SpaceX is poised to dramatically increase revenues from these typically internet-starved sectors. Moreover, for land-based customers, Starlink has introduced satellite receivers for those on the go and for customers in some of the harshest conditions on the planet.
