Starlink to Lower Satellite Orbits for Safety in 2026

Starlink to Lower Satellite Orbits for Safety in 2026

Starlink, a company that provides internet from space, is planning to move its satellites closer to Earth.

Right now, they are about 550 kilometers up, but next year, they will move them to 480 kilometers.

The reason for this is to make space safer.

By moving the satellites lower, there is less chance of them colliding with other things in space.

This is important because space is getting more crowded, and we want to keep it safe for everyone.
