Satellite constellation providing internet connectivity
This article is about satellites in Low Earth orbit only. For internet provision by satellites in other orbits, see Satellite constellation and Satellite internet access.
A satellite internet constellation is a constellation of artificial satellites providing satellite internet service. In particular, the term has come to refer to a new generation of very large constellations (sometimes referred to as megaconstellations[1]) orbiting in low Earth orbit (LEO) to provide low-latency, high bandwidth (broadband) internet service.[2]
