Starlink is a satellite internet constellation operated by Starlink Services, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the American aerospace company SpaceX. The system utilizes a network of low Earth orbit satellites to provide high-speed internet access, with current coverage extending to approximately 150 countries and territories. Its long-term objective is to deliver global mobile broadband service.
The company is notable for its ambitious scale, aiming to create a massive satellite network to bridge the digital divide for underserved communities worldwide. Furthermore, Starlink has been a significant revenue driver and a key component of the growth strategy for its parent company, SpaceX, helping to fund other advanced aerospace projects.
Recently, Starlink has been prominent in news headlines due to its expanding partnerships with the aviation industry. Multiple airlines, including Emirates, have announced plans to install its satellite internet service across their fleets to provide passengers with high-speed Wi-Fi during flights. This aviation sector expansion coincides with the ongoing deployment of its satellite constellation, with regular rocket launches, such as recent missions from Cape Canaveral, adding more satellites to the network to enhance capacity and coverage.
