Thank you Dave!
It has been a while since I wrote that piece, and so much has changed. I have been really busy with work, and haven’t been able to implement a lot of these changes into the starlink.sx tracker - I’m trying to put aside some time to update it.
The following I can think of:
- v2mini satellites are not modeled, and are now a great portion of the constellation.
- Gateways now have Ka and E band capability, increasing backhaul capacity considerably (5 GHz available on E band).
- Several megasites have been constructed (32 gateway antennas per site).
- Additional Ku beams are available on v2mini satellites.
- ISL is a complete mesh now, with very few gaps.
- DTC onboard newer v2mini satellites.
- Reduced operational altitude on some shells, enabling more frequency re-use, and 3-4 dB better link margin.
- New versions of the UT, with Mini being the equivalent of 802.11b Wi-Fi clients ruining the party for G/N clients by dragging down resources.

It has a few challengeable assumptions now.
