RT Vlad Saigau (@VladSaigau)What will a 100 kW/ton orbital compute satellite look like?We’ve been building a satellite mass-budget model to show how compute satellites will differ architecturally from Starlink.Satcom/Starlink baselines allocate ~35 % of dry mass to phased-array antennas, gimbals, and other continuous Earth-pointing mechanisms required for RF routing.Compute satellites will have no downlink; data moves via laser links to the Starlink constellation. The freed mass is completely reallocated to ...
