How Elon Musk's Starlinks in Ukraine will work

A truck full of Starlink equipment has arrived in Ukraine, where the country's deputy prime minister thanked Elon Musk for the gift,

It is not clear where they are going, but they are likely to be used by the government itself. Currently internet access in Ukraine is quite good, but is expected to worsen if fighting continues.

Ukraine's deputy prime minister Mykhailo Fedorov earlier sought Musk's help to make sure the government and military had access to the internet to communicate during the war.

But how do "Starlink" devices work? They're quite simple. Simply put in the current and automatically connect to the nearest "Starlink" satellite in low orbit, where there are more than 2,000 of them.

The satellite then communicates with the nearest ground station, or gate, which supplies it with the internet. These gates are located around the world, but they cannot be far from where the internet is connected. Fortunately for Ukraine, there is a gate in neighbouring Poland.

Internet connection travels from gate to satellite and then to the terminal. Users simply insert their router into their terminal and everything else is automatic.

One of the main issues with previous satellite internet repetitions is delay, but constellation of Starlink satellites is a relatively new technology - they operate in low Earth orbit, so delays are estimated in milliseconds rather than seconds.

A ground device, Elon Musk sells it for 700 euros, while the monthly subscription ranges from up to 100 euros for internet service.
