SpaceX Prepares to Test Next-Generation Starlink Dishes

[mike625]

Just saw this posted - Let's hope that they drop their starlink proprietary cable plug on the next version.

Found this interesting -

The hardware will include both fixed position Starlink dishes and those that can be used in motion, such as on a car, boat, or plane. The company plans on testing up to 200 models

The 200 models will also consist of “multiple potential user configurations,” but all will be designed to receive downloads and uploads over the 10.7GHz to 12.7GHZ and 14GHz radio bands.

More spies in the sky. Or, celestial clutter if you are a star-gazer.

You just need to double up on your tin foil helmet to stay hidden

Im surprised Elon hasn't offered to put up hundreds of telescopes along with the starlink system and offer low cost observing time, using the starlink system as a data path. With no atmospheric distortion, it would eclipse (pun intended) any ground based amateur capability.
