Starlink is a satellite internet constellation project developed by SpaceX, the company founded by Elon Musk. The goal of Starlink is to provide high-speed internet access to underserved and remote areas around the world.

The constellation consists of thousands of small satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO), which communicate with ground stations and user terminals to deliver internet connectivity. These satellites are positioned closer to the Earth than traditional communication satellites, which can lead to lower latency and faster internet speeds.

The project aims to bridge the digital divide by providing internet access to rural and remote areas where traditional infrastructure like fiber optic cables or cell towers are not economically viable or feasible. Additionally, Starlink has the potential to improve internet connectivity during natural disasters or emergencies when terrestrial infrastructure may be damaged or unavailable.

SpaceX has been launching batches of Starlink satellites regularly, with the goal of eventually having tens of thousands of satellites in orbit.
