Hi, I'm currently working on packet simulation analysi= s over large LEO constellations such as Starlink, and I do have a few quest= ions on the Starlink commodity terminals and ISL.

1) Is = the commodity hardware capable of forming multiple GSL channels to multiple= satellites? If it's not possible, is it possible that the hardware all= ows multiple downlink but only one uplink?

2) Does= Starlink currently use laser ISL or is it planning in the future? If so, h= ow is the link performance due to laser accuracy?

= Best,
