Elon Musk's Starlink project, initiated by SpaceX, aims to provide global high-speed internet coverage through a constellation of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites. By deploying thousands of small satellites, Starlink seeks to offer reliable and fast internet access to underserved and remote areas around the world. The system is designed to reduce latency and improve connectivity compared to traditional satellite internet services. #elonmusk #starlink #spacex | Secrets of Space

Number of Starlink launches over time 🛰️🌎 This video shows how the number of Starlink satellites has grown over time. The first launch took place in 2019. Since then, more than 4,000 satellites have been sent into orbit. This is currently the largest satellite constellation, but it's unlikely to be the only one. Note that satellites are actually much smaller. They're about the size of a small car or a large sofa and weigh somewhere in between. 🚗 The orbits are shown as of April 2023. 👀 You c
