Starlink Block v2-Mini

Starlink Block v2-Mini [SpaceX]

Starlink is SpaceX's 30.000-satellite low earth orbit constellation to provide global broadband Internet access.

The mass-produced spacecraft carry a communications payload using the Ku, Ka and E frequency bands. The satellites will employ optical inter-satellite links and phased array beam forming and digital processing technologies.

The Starlink v2-Mini satellites are using the bus twice the size of the Starlink Block v1.5 satellites. This allows up to 22 Group 6 satellites to be launched at once on a Falcon-9 v1.2 (Block 5) rocket.

The second generation of Starlink satellites are significantly larger and more capable compared to those of the first generation. V2 minis include key technologies — such as more powerful phased array antennas and the use of E-band for backhaul — which will allow Starlink to provide 4 times more capacity per satellite than earlier iterations.

There are several groups of sub constellations:

• Group 6 is 43.0° at an altitude of 530 km
• Group 7 is 53.0° at an altitude of 525 km
• Group 8 is 53.0° at an altitude of 535 km
• Group 9 is xx.x° at an altitude of xxx km
• Group 10 is 53.0° at an altitude of xxx km

Note: This article will be updated when further information becomes available, especially which form factors are being used.

Note: The satellites are designated with individual non-consecutive numbers. Due to this and the large number of satellite, on this website the satellites will be designated by a prefix flight number and a number in catalog order to keep the lists manageable. Individual proper names are given in parentheses.
