Low Earth Orbit (LEO) is used by Starlink, the world's first and largest satellite constellation, to provide fast, low-latency internet
The first and biggest satellite constellation in the world, Starlink offers high-speed, low-latency broadband internet via Low Earth Orbit (LEO).
Internet via satellite
It is a location-independent wireless internet that offers worldwide coverage via communication satellites orbiting the planet.
Satellites use lasers to communicate with one another, which lessens the need for ground stations.
Internet Service via Starlink Satellite Approximately 7,086 Starlink satellites are currently in orbit.
Every Starlink satellite:
The Significance of Satellite Internet
Improving accessibility Ideal for locations with sporadic or nonexistent internet access.
Access in Times of Disaster: After a massive volcano eruption and tsunami, Starlink brought access to Tonga.
The military can use it to communicate with military bases and military drones, ships, airplanes, and other equipment.
Concerns
Astronomical Interference: The intense light that satellites emit into the night sky may interfere with star observations.
Atmospheric changes: Get ready to launch retired Starlink satellites into the atmosphere, which may alter the atmosphere's chemistry.
Technical limitations: disruptions caused by geomagnetic storms and extreme weather.
