Starlink satellite constellationsWired

The US Navy recently announced that it is experimenting with bringing reliable and persistent high-speed internet to its surface warships.
The connectivity comes via a new system developed under its Sailor Edge Afloat and Ashore (SEA2) initiative.
The system uses satellites from the Starlink network maintained by SpaceX and other spaceborne broadband internet providers to maintain a constant and consistent internet connection for sailors.
The Navy expects to see broad “tangible warfighting impact” from the proliferation of SEA2 across the surface fleet.
The US Space Force signed a $70 million contract with Starlink parent company SpaceX in October 2023 to provide “a best effort and global subscription for various land, maritime, stationary and mobility platforms and users” The US Army currently remains reliant on Starlink , but the service has been casting about for fresh commercial satellite constellations to tap into for advanced command and control functions.
