The recent launch of SpaceX’s Starlink satellite constellation has sparked a lot of interest in the potential for space-based military intelligence and surveillance. Ukraine, a country that has been dealing with ongoing conflict in its eastern regions, is one of the countries that could benefit greatly from this technology.
Starlink is a network of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites that are designed to provide high-speed internet access to remote areas of the world. However, the same technology that makes it possible to deliver internet access to remote areas could also be used for military purposes.
One of the main advantages of Starlink is its ability to provide real-time, high-resolution imagery of the Earth’s surface.
