ASSESSMENT OF THE PROSPECTS FOR DEPLOYING THE ORBITAL GROUP OF THE STARLINK SATELLITE SYSTEM
The article presents generalized statistical data on the launches and decommissioning of spacecraft of the Starlink satellite system and estimates of their actual active life. The results of calculations of the achievable composition of the orbital grouping are given, taking into account and without taking into account the early decommissioning of spacecraft. The possibilities of further expansion of the Starlink orbital grouping are considered.
