SpaceX is expected to launch Starlink satellite internet services in Vietnam in the fourth quarter of 2025, according to a government official. The Ministry of Science and Technology aims to license the pilot services using low-orbit satellites immediately after the investor completes investment procedures and establishes a legal entity in Vietnam. The goal is to deploy services in the fourth quarter of 2025 [1].

This development comes as SpaceX continues to expand its global reach. The company has already secured regulatory approval to launch Starlink in India, following a long wait for a license [2]. Starlink is currently operational in over 140 countries, territories, and markets worldwide, spanning all seven continents [2].

SpaceX's Starlink network is designed, owned, and operated by the company. According to data from astronomer Jonathan McDowell, SpaceX has launched over 9000 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit to provide service [2]. The company has more than 6 million users and counting [2].

The Vietnamese market represents a significant opportunity for SpaceX, given its large population and increasing demand for internet services. The company's entry into the market is expected to bring high-speed internet connectivity to rural and remote areas, bridging the digital divide [1].

SpaceX has been discussing plans to raise capital and sell insider shares, which could value the launch services provider at around $400 billion [2]. However, Elon Musk, the company's CEO, has stated that he is not in a rush to go public, suggesting that the public offering is not an immediate priority [2].
