First Partner to the Stars: Muon Space Adopts Starlink Lasers for Millisecond Data Transfer


By integrating Starlink's mini laser technology, Muon Space will eliminate ground station bottlenecks to build a high-speed, real-time network in orbit.

Starlink satellites use a space mini laser module like this to communicate with each other. Muon Space
