The Starlink network, which will be launched in May 2019, is designed to provide Internet access to users around the world by placing a large number of small spacecraft (weighing up to 500 kg) in Earth orbit. This communications system will provide 1G gigabit per second broadband internet access, including hard-to-reach and sparsely populated areas.
