First Lets get started by What is Starlink internet?
Starlink is a satellite internet constellation being constructed by SpaceX, the private aerospace company founded by Elon Musk. The goal of Starlink is to provide high-speed, low-latency internet access to underserved and remote areas around the world.
The constellation will consist of thousands of small satellites in low Earth orbit, orbiting at altitudes ranging from 340 to 1,200 kilometers (210 to 750 miles). These satellites communicate with ground stations to provide internet access to users on the ground.
The advantage of Starlink is that it can provide internet access to areas where traditional terrestrial infrastructure like fiber optic cables or cell towers is not feasible or cost-effective. Additionally, because the satellites are in low Earth orbit, they can potentially provide faster internet speeds and lower latency compared to traditional satellite internet services which rely on satellites in geostationary orbit.
As of my last update, SpaceX has been launching batches of Starlink satellites regularly, and the service has been in beta testing in certain regions.
