I think Elon has been talking about floating ground stations. Not sure if that is even viable. My best guess is that ships, at least ocean going ships, will stay with GEO operators for the time being.
- mrep 7y agoStarlink is planning on adding laser links to the satellites so that when one satellite is out of range of a ground station it can beam packets to other satellites that are in range of a ground station.
- Thlom 7y agoAs far as I understand none of the sats in orbit have this technology as of yet, so until they manage to make this a reality they will need a lot of ground stations, including floating ground station if they intend on serving the maritime market. Interesting times.
