Nov 19, 2024 · Each Starlink satellite is equipped with four phased array antennas, which enable dynamic beam steering to communicate with different ground stations and provide seamless coverage.

As of Feb. 27, 2025, there are 7,086 Starlink satellites in orbit, of which 7,052 are working, according to Astronomer Jonathan McDowell ,who tracks the constellation on his website.

Feb 27, 2025 · Have you ever seen a string of lights in the sky? A Starlink satellite train can be a strange sight for those not expecting it. Here's how to see it.

As of September 2024, the constellation consists of over 7,000 mass-produced small satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) [8] that communicate with designated ground transceivers. Nearly 12,000 satellites are planned to be deployed, with a possible later extension to 34,400.

Mar 28, 2024 · Starlink satellites employ advanced on-board communication systems to enable both satellite-to-satellite connections and communication with ground stations. These systems utilize phased array antennas and parabolic antennas to facilitate high-capacity data transmission.

Nov 20, 2024 · Each Starlink satellite is equipped with advanced technology, including four phased array antennas and two parabolic antennas. The phased array antennas enable dynamic beam steering, allowing...

Aug 10, 2023 · This colossal assembly collaborates in a method known as a phased array to transmit and receive electromagnetic waves, oriented towards and from the Starlink satellite positioned 550...

Nov 25, 2020 · It is a phased array antenna, i.e. hundreds of small antennas that need to be synchronized with picosecond precision. By adjust the delay between the antennas the overall device can track satellites across the sky without moving mechanically.

Jan 14, 2025 · Starlink’s phased array technology represents a monumental leap in satellite communications, with implications extending beyond internet services. Its ability to dynamically steer beams has the potential to revolutionise fields such as autonomous vehicles, IoT, and remote sensing.

It is a two-dimensional phased array, so it can electronically steer in both azimuth and elevation. The phased array follows the LEO satellite across the sky, and seamlessly moves the link from one satellite to another as they enter and exit the field of view.
