Starlink is a satellite internet constellation developed by SpaceX, the aerospace company founded by Elon Musk. It aims to provide global broadband connectivity by deploying a large network of small satellites in low Earth orbit. The satellites communicate with ground stations and user terminals, enabling high-speed internet access to remote and underserved areas worldwide.
Starlink’s satellite network operates at relatively low altitudes compared to traditional geostationary satellites, resulting in lower latency and improved internet speeds. The constellation has the potential to deliver high-quality internet service to areas with limited or no connectivity, bridging the digital divide and empowering individuals, businesses, and communities with reliable internet access. Starlink’s ambitious goal is to build a network of tens of thousands of satellites, making it one of the largest satellite constellations ever deployed.
