Yes, but I was referring to Starlink potentially interoperating with a satellite that they do not own or operate. To my knowledge they have not done this yet, but clearly my Starlink knowledge is a little out of date so if you know of a mission that did this I’d be interested.

> And Starlink has way more than enough downlink capacity for the "staggering" numbers in the article.

This is the only independent analysis of Starlink’s downlink capacity that I know of: https://thexlab.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Starlink_Anal... (July 2025).

Of course, the new V2’s and V3’s will change the math here considerably.
