Abstract
This presentation offers an overview of the design, mass manufacturing, and operational challenges confronted in the development of SpaceX’s global satellite laser mesh operating in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). The Starlink network consists of over 5,000 free-space optical communication terminals, each achieving data transmission rates of 100Gbps and link uptime over 99%, enabling high-speed global internet coverage.
