The concept of Starlink was first publicly announced by Musk in 2015, with the goal of providing high-speed, low-latency internet access worldwide. SpaceX began launching Starlink satellites in 2019, gradually building the constellation, which is nothing but a network of thousands of small satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO).
The LEO approach reduces latency compared to traditional geostationary satellites, essentially reducing the time taken by signals to travel to ground infrastructure.
