First launch of Starlink "operational" satellites (v1.0), [33] with an increased mass of 260 kg each and included Ka-band antennas. [34] Satellites were released in a circular orbit at around 290 km altitude, from which the satellites raised their altitude by themselves. 3 Launch 2 v1 2020-001 7 January 2020, 02:19:21 [35] Cape Canaveral, SLC-40
Starlink satellites are orbiting at 1 ⁄ 105 to 1 ⁄ 30 of the height of geostationary orbits, and thus offer more practical Earth-to-satellite latencies of around 25 to 35 ms, comparable to existing cable and fiber networks. [321] The system uses a peer-to-peer protocol claimed to be "simpler than IPv6"; it also incorporates native end-to ...
