Yes and no. Yes they can beef up the constellation, one section at a time. (For a given launch, the are enhancing a particular orbit.)
Depending on your definition of “one area” when you say “not in any one area”. Technically they would beef up an area in the shape of strips, where the strip is the ground under the orbit of the additional (new) satellites. Sorry, when I say “add service to an area”, it implies adding coverage to strips of land, the land under the new satellite orbit. https://satellitemap.space/?constellation=starlink <https://satellitemap.space/?constellation=starlink> Gene ---------------------------------------------- Eugene Chang IEEE Senior Life Member [email protected] 781-799-0233 (in Honolulu) > On Sep 28, 2022, at 1:35 PM, David Lang <[email protected]> wrote: > > The Starlink satellites are in low orbit (<90 min), so you beef up the > contellation overall, not in any one area. > > David Lang > > On Wed, 28 Sep 2022, Eugene Y Chang via Starlink wrote: > >> Date: Wed, 28 Sep 2022 13:07:43 -1000 >> From: Eugene Y Chang via Starlink <[email protected]> >> Reply-To: Eugene Y Chang <[email protected]> >> To: Dotzero <[email protected]> >> Cc: Dave Taht via Starlink <[email protected]> >> Subject: Re: [Starlink] Starlink "Best Effort" offering >> What is the definition and differences between regular and best effort >> service? >> >> Creating two bookings queue, wait list and best effort subscribers, the best >> effort subscribers are more “real”.
