My theory is more that they will add the functionality to Starlink. Worst case, you just plug the RF part of the swarm cubesat on the outside of a Starlink. This way Starlink immediately supports low power devices, has a ground segment for the end-users readily available, and solves the latency/backhaul problem that all these cubesat constellations have.
- dom_hutton 5y agoIt's worth noting that it won't be as simple as plugging in Swarms' payload - there will be singificant necessary engineering work to validate the RF and power characteristics of the integration. Interesting work I'm sure.
