Those lasers can sustain 100 Gbps connection 📶 per link. #VastSpace and #SpaceX announced in May 2023 a plan to launch #Haven1 as soon as 📆 August 2025. The commercial station would feature the ability to spin and generate enough centripetal force to create the equivalent of #gravity on the Moon. https://aviationweek.com/shows-events/space-symposium/vast-space-station-use-spacex-starlink-laser-comms #SpaceStation #SpaceCommunication
