Starlink during Starship’s first flight test 123,600+ feet (36,679 meters) in height and Mach 1.7 (2,082 km/hIt set an altitude and speed record for in-flight use by connecting while traveling at . Breaking this record also opens the door to connection for return on SpaceX’s Crew Dragon.
With the next Starship test flight scheduled for the next few months, Starlink satellites performs well in a grueling environment it is understood. Starlink has to use a dish to communicate with orbiting satellites, and SpaceX has expanded its dish portfolio since its application round in 2021.
