Starlink satellites are a part of a satellite network developed by SpaceX, owned by Elon Musk, to provide low-cost internet to remote locations. The Starlink network is a growing network of orbital satellites, which currently has over 4,500 satellites in orbit, of which over 4,400 are operational. The satellites are designed to orbit at a low Earth orbit of approximately 550 km above the Earths surface. The Starlink satellites are easier to spot within days of their launch and can appear as a string of pearls or a "train" of bright lights moving across the night sky.

The Starlink network is designed to provide internet coverage on a global scale, particularly in places with poor connectivity. The satellites are capable of integrating a wide variety of payloads, offering unique versatility to users. The Starlink network is also used for connecting combat drones, naval drones, artillery fire coordination systems, and attacks on Russian positions. SpaceX has expressed reservations about the offensive use of Starlink by Ukraine beyond military communications and restricted Starlink communication technology for military use on weapon systems.
