<![CDATA[ SpaceX launched two Falcon 9 rockets on Tuesday (March 17), one from California and the other Florida, each carrying Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit. The company now has more than 10,000 active satellites in its constellation. ]]>
Satellite constellations are groups of satellites that work together to provide coverage over a specific area of the Earth. They are often used for communication, navigation, and Earth observation, and can significantly enhance the capabilities of satellite technology.
Low Earth Orbit (LEO) refers to an orbit around Earth with an altitude typically between 160 to 2,000 kilometers. This region is ideal for satellites that require close proximity to Earth for applications such as imaging, telecommunications, and scientific research.
