Starlink Statistics

Every figure below is derived from the same orbital data that drives the live globe — not a static table. We take each satellite's current orbital elements, propagate them with the SGP4 model, and read off altitude and inclination to build these distributions on the fly, so they track the real constellation as it grows and re-shells.

Starlink is not one uniform swarm: it is organised into orbital "shells" at set altitudes and inclinations, which is why the altitude and inclination charts cluster into distinct bands rather than spreading evenly. For why inclination decides who gets coverage, see Starlink's orbital shells explained.
