Starlink Booklet

Starlink is a satellite internet constellation launched by SpaceX that aims to provide high-speed internet access globally. It uses low-Earth orbit satellites that have lower latency than traditional satellites, allowing services like video calls and online gaming. Starlink is designed to minimize space debris and satellites will deorbit safely after their mission. The Starlink kit includes a terminal dish, router, cables and mount to set up high-speed access. Users can expect download speeds over 100Mbps, latency comparable to cable internet, and no data caps.

| High Speed Internet Access Across the Globe

Starlink is a growing constellation of satellites with the aim of improving


access to information, learning, communication and commerce, starting with
populations with little or no connectivity.

With performance that far surpasses that of traditional satellite internet,


Starlink delivers high speed internet to locations where access has been
unreliable, expensive, or completely unavailable. Satellites eliminate the
limitations brought by ground infrastructure and increase access for all.

| Streamlined for Video Conferencing and Online Gaming

Latency is the time it takes to send data from one point to the next. When
satellites are far from Earth, latency is high, resulting in poor performance for
activities like video calls and online gaming.

Starlink satellites are over 60 times closer to Earth than traditional satellites,
resulting in lower latency and the ability to support services typically not
possible with traditional satellite internet.

| Keeping Space Clean

The Starlink teams have worked closely with leading astronomers around the
world to better understand the specifics of their observations and engineering
changes we can make to reduce satellite brightness.

Starlink is on the leading edge of on-orbit debris mitigation, meeting or


exceeding all regulatory and industry standards.

At end of life, the satellites will utilize their on-board propulsion system to
deorbit over the course of a few months. In the unlikely event the propulsion
system becomes inoperable, the satellites will burn up in Earth’s atmosphere
within 1-5 years, significantly less than the hundreds or thousands of years
required at higher altitudes.
