What is Starlink?

Early Concept and Development (2015-2016)

The idea of Starlink was first conceptualized by Elon Musk in August 2015. At the time, Musk was looking for ways to provide global Internet access, particularly in rural and underserved areas. He envisioned a network of thousands of low-Earth orbit satellites that would work together to provide high-speed internet to anyone with a small satellite dish.
